Abstract

Immunology is one of the biomedical sciences that had undergo, worldwide, a greater development in the last part of the XX century and the beginning of the XXI century. In Antioquia, immunology also had important developments that began the 1960s. In this historical review, the author who have actively participated in these developments in the Universidad de Antioquia,  as an undergraduate and graduate student and later on as faculty member, describes the more significant local events and the role played by some distinguished faculty members in research, and in undergraduate and graduate teaching of immunology. The first part describes the historical events that occurred in the 1960 and 1970 decades that lead to the establishment of immunology as an independent biomedical.
