EDWARD ANTHONY JENNER Edward Anthony Jenner was an English physician and scientist from Berkeley, Gloucestershire, who was the pioneer of smallpox vaccine. He is often called "the father of immunology", and his work is said to have "saved more lives than the work of any other man. In 2002, Jenner was named in the BBC's list of the 100 Greatest Britons following a UK -wide vote. CREATED BY KAMINDRA KUMAR

LIFE OF EDWARD ANTHONY JENNER Edward Jenner was born on 17 May 1749(6 May Old Style) in Berkeley, as the eighth of nine children. His father was the vicar of Berkeley, so Jenner received a strong basic education. Jenner trained from the age of 17 for eight years in Chipping Sodbury, South Gloucestershire, as an apprentice to Daniel Ludlow, a surgeon. Jenner earned his MD from the University of St Andrews in 1792. Jenner is also credited with advancing understanding of angina pectoris. In 1806, Jenner was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. CREATED BY KAMINDRA KUMAR

Jenner's Theory: The initial source of infection was a disease of horses, called "the grease", which was transferred to cows by farm workers, transformed, and then manifested as cowpox. Known: Smallpox is more dangerous than variolation and cowpox less dangerous than variolation. Hypothesis: Infection with cowpox gives immunity to smallpox. Test: If variolation after infection with cowpox fails to produce a smallpox infection, immunity to smallpox has been achieved. Consequence: Immunity to smallpox can be induced much more safely than by CREATED BY KAMINDRA KUMAR variolation.
