Preface for Synthetic Immunology
Immunologyhasdevelopedrapidlyoverthelast50yearsthroughtheincorporation
of new technologies and concepts in cell and molecular biology, genetics, geno-
mics, and proteomics. This progress is the result of works by many scientists all
over the world. Currently, immunological research has accumulated detailed
knowledge on various mechanisms of immunity and is in the process to change
medical practices. Yet, due to the enormous complexity of the immune system,
many aspects on the regulation and function of the immune system remain
unknown.Syntheticbiologyisanemergingresearchfieldthatusesgain-of-function
rather than loss-of-function approaches. The goals of synthetic biology can be
described in a simple phrase “rebuild, alter, and understand,” namely, to rebuild
minimal functional systems using well-defined parts from nature and then to
perturb the system to understand its working principles. Given the richness of
accumulated knowledge in molecular and cellular mechanisms of the immune
system, we may now begin adapting the concepts of synthetic biology to immu-
nology.Withthisinmind,wehaveexperimentallystartedSyntheticImmunology
