No body process is simple, but the immune system is so terrifically complex that Nobel laureate Niels Jerne once likened it to a foreign language operating independently of the brain.
In 1974, Jerne [3] brought forth the first mathematical model in immune system, later in 1994, Forrest [4] put forward the concept of computer immune system for the detection of network intrusion, and up to now the artificial immune system based on biological immune theory has been applied extensively in network security.
No less than three Nobel Prizes were awarded to people connected with the Institute for Immunology--Niels Jerne, Georges Kohler and Susumu Tonegawa--which Roche founded in 1969.
