La distinción entre propio y ajeno ha sido uno de los pilares de la inmunología contemporánea y fuente de grandes controversias en el campo. Al presente, se presume que lo propio es una metáfora introducida en la génesis de la inmunología contemporánea como una manera de dar cuenta de la inmunogenicidad. Sin embargo, en este trabajo desarrollamos la idea que hablar de lo propio fue la manera en que Frank Macfarlane Burnet logró la síntesis disciplinar que dio origen a la inmunología, al permitirle negociar aquellos aspectos que contribuirían las disciplinas que fundaron al campo, entre otras, la bioquímica, la medicina, o la biología molecular. Detrás de estas disciplinas hubo y ha habido grandes visiones de lo que debe ser considerado biológico, y es en la toma de postura frente a dichos debates en que lo propio toma sentido.Citas
