Q

They were awarded the Nobel Prize for their work on immunological tolerance and cellular immunity. Their work focused attention on LYMPHOCYTES as the key players in the immune response.

A

F. Macfarlane Burnet & Peter Medawar - 1960

Q

They described the chemical structure of antibody molecules. They deduced how they have a constant region and two sites which bind to antigen.

A

Rodney Porter and Gerald Edelman - 1972

35
Q

They were able to explain how variations in the amino acid sequence of individual antibodies result in different binding shapes allowing them to bind the many different antigens.

A

A

Solomon Berson

38
Q

Genes that govern the antigen presenting molecules on cell surfaces

A

MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX genes

39
Q

They demonstrated the importance of the genes which govern the antigen presenting molecules on cell surfaces (MHC genes). These control the infection and are also very important in transplant rejection.

A

Baruj Benacerraf, George Snell, and Jean Dausset - 1980

40
Q

They were both recognized for their development of the technique for making monoclonal antibodies in 1984.

A

Cesar Milstein and George Kohler

41
Q

He was recognized for his important theoretical contributions to the understanding of how the immune system is controlled.

A

Niels K. Jerne -1984

42
Q

Niels Jerne’s ideas about antigens selecting the appropriate antibody- bearing cells paved the way for this theory:

A

Burnet’s clonal selection theory

43
Q

They are the latest in a long line of immunologists to be awarded the Nobel Prize they received it further work on TRANSPLANTATION immunology.

A

E. Donal Thomas and Joseph Murray - 1991

44
Q

He worked on the organization of antibody genes and demonstrated how so many antibody patterns could be produced by such a limited number of genes. His ideas were also very important in understanding the structure information of the T cell receptor.

A

Susuni cesca- ay wala pala -1987Joke, eto for real:Susumu Tonegawa - 1987

45
Q

He has been responsible for many of the key discoveries relating to Ag processing by macrophages. He first demonstrated that Ag processing was first necessary for the T cells to recognize an Ag

A

Emil Unanue

46
Q

He introduced phagocytosis and he was awarded for his role in demonstrating that MHC genes could control the ability of an animal the mountain and immune response to a specific epitope

A

Baruj Benacerraf

47
Q

He was the first to demonstrate that the thymus played a significant role in the development of the immune response

A

Dr. Jacques Miller

48
Q

He demonstrated that antigen was either TRAPPED ON MACROPHAGES or on the surface of DENDRITIC cells. He showed that this Ag, when appropriately presented, caused some lymphocytes to progressively develop into PLASMA CELLS.
