ABOUT THE AUTHORS OF "IMMUNOLOGY LIVE - 99"

Leonid P. Churilov, the Monument to Ilia I. Metchnikoff and Andrei G. Vasiliev

often linger across Champ des Marse during the White Nights in Summer

in sub-polar St. Petersburg, Russia.

In Autumn, Winter and Spring both

Andrew Vasiliev, M.D., Ph.D. and Leonid Churilov, M.D., Ph.D.

teach Immunology and Pathology at the St. Petersburg State Pediatric Medical Academy, write interactive textbooks, paperbacks, papers, etc.

They both chase one wench called Immun O'Logia, but in vain: she is only true to

Ilia I. Mechnikoff who is already the Nobel Prize Winner

and a Patriarch of Immunology.

All the components of this textbook have been invented, written, typed, linked, sweated over, drawn, scanned, cropped, glued, rescanned, etc, etc by

Andrew G. Vasiliev and Leonid P. Churilov

Although the authors have chiseled the Textbook practically without any external aid

they would like however to thank some people who have done a lot to inspire some of the ideas, or gave advises (sometimes unwanted), or supported the authors while in despair, or received thunderbolts of discontent from the authors, or resolved some foolish jams and bugs, etc, or just because they are good friends:

Artem, Stepan and Lyubov Vasilievs, Rostik, Ivan and Tatiana and also Lena and Natalia Churilovs,

Vera A. Majevskaya & Son,

Leonid Saphonov, Albert Sh. Zaichik, Lev Balashov,

RF & RM twins

George Greider, Gayle Krantz, Judy and Jim Elliotts, George Soros,

Rivhat' K. Danilov,

and some other ones whom we were tired enough to forget to mention... sorry!

THANK YOU!
