title: Who was... Emil von Behring?
abstract: Emil von Behring was first in the line of distinguished immunologists to win the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine. His contributions to our knowledge of immunity ignited an impassioned argument between French and German scientists at the end of the 19th century, the first of many scientific debates in the immunological world.
