Recent advances in our knowledge of immunology coupled with the development of new technologies are remarkable. However, I would think that knowledge of basic immunology has not been fully utilized at the bedside yet. Many people would admit that the vaccination initiated by Edward Jenner is one of the most successful examples of the so-called clinical application of basic immunology although this modern concept was not discernable at that age. Even after the discoveries of the development of mRNA vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 and effective immune checkpoint inhibition for cancer immunotherapy, there is still good room for expanding the clinical application of our knowledge of basic immunology. This book summarizes the recent achievements in this area and highlights what can be further explored to make immunology a more practical science. This book’s exploration of ongoing and upcoming applications of basic immunology may, in turn, deepen our understanding of basic immunology. In this way, we can say that basic immunology and its clinical applications are two wheels of the same cart. Our goal of this book is not intended to cover all the fields of the basic immunology-clinical application axis. Obviously, this is not an immunology textbook that covers all the basic immunological themes. Instead, we would like to focus on several good examples in the fields so that immunologists working in other fields would become interested in the application of their knowledge to clinical work. We will highlight the immunological fields that have been already applied as well as those that can be applied before too long. I am pleased to say that we have successfully achieved this mission in this book as follows. First of all, all the authors are the top runners in the corresponding areas. In this regard, I paid special attention to gathering authors who are well motivated to apply their knowledge of basic immunology to the bedside. As a result, we have covered a unique range of topics, from Toxoplasmosis to CAR T cells. I have also included several chapters regarding how the discoveries of the genes responsible for human immune-related diseases were successfully studied by animal models. Although this may look like the reverse of the application of basic immunology to clinical application, this will demonstrate how the knowledge obtained by the animal models is useful to achieve our task. I strongly believe that this book will attract many clinicians with a strong mind for research, as well as young and promising immunologists who have started their research careers.
