Exam 2 Flashcards
(7 cards)
James Murphy
(1911) observed that small lymphocytes likely responsible
for resistance to tuberculosis, cancer, and tissue transplant rejection.
George Snell & Peter Gorer
(1946) genetically mapped Hantigens
and showed these were responsible for tissue
rejection
Bruce Glick, Robert Goode, and Max Cooper
showed that T cells still develop in chickens lacking Bursa of
Fabricus but not in thymectomized chickens.
Graham Mitchell & Jacque Miller
(1966) showed that bone
marrow cells could restore graft rejection in sublethally
irradiated mice, but not if mice were also thymectomized
Lloyd Old & Edward Boyse
(1975) developed antibodies to
Lyt-2 antigen (CD8α) to permit isolation of T cells for use
Kendall Smith
(1980) identified and cloned T cell growth factor gene
(interleukin 2) to permit growth of large numbers of T cells in laboratory
for use
