Immunity to Venom

The exploration of immunity to toxins reveals fascinating insights, such as how Fontana's early research on the European viper laid the groundwork for understanding venom resistance. Later, Sewell's experiments with pigeons demonstrated that animals can develop immunity to snake venom, suggesting the potential for using their serum to counteract toxins in other species. This groundbreaking work highlights the interconnectedness of immunology and toxinology, paving the way for future advancements.
