Burnet's

Left unasked and unanswered were questions that went to the heart of the issue, questions that were clearly too freighted for Ms. Burnet's taste and proclivities, such as:

So when immunology is summarily defined as the science of self/non-self discrimination, and Burnet's theory by which selfhood is currently understood, “with only slight modification ¦ has passed from the status of theory to that of paradigm” (Golub and Green 1991, p. 15) and “no longer a theory but a fact”

Indeed, the relative importance of Jerne's network fell behind the dominant model of immune regulation proposed by Burnet's CST model, which built upon the fundamental distinction of self and non-self

But when non-reactivity occurs, this may be because of active or implicit tolerance, which in turn is determined by many factors beyond Burnet's original formulation.

Burnet's theory proposed that the animal, during prenatal development, exercised a purging function of self-reactive lymphocytes

While these versions may be situated along a continuum between a severe genetic reductionism and complex organismal constructions (Tauber 1999), each shares an unsettled relationship to Burnet's original dichotomous model of self and other (Langman 2000).

I also read F.M. Burnet and R.M. Stanley's books on viruses, some of Burnet's writings on immunology and cancer and wrote a final year thesis on the UV-induced squamous cell carcinoma

Burnet's teleological Darwinism, the idea that the body is a set of ecosystems and the realisation that good science involves quantitation have stayed with me from those early days.
