"The chimera of Greek myth, a freakish blend of lion, goat, serpent could not normally be encountered among humans. For, as immunoligist Sir Macfarlane Burnet explains, the human body refuses to be a chimeric mixture; it rejects alien species, such as germs that invade it, destroying them with scavenger cells (white) and chemicals (coloured circles)."From the 'Drugs' volume of the *excellent* Life Science Library.

Lovely collage, any more info?
ReplyDeleteNothing more on the artist, I'm afraid, just a simple picture credit at the back of the book. There are a load more in similar style, however (not all by David Gordon), some of which I'll bung up after my next scanning sesh.
