——1996 Nobel
Laureate
辛格纳吉
----让免疫体分清敌我
1996年 诺贝尔奖生理与医学奖
 澳大利亚的杜赫提(Peter C. Doherty)和
瑞士的辛克纳吉(Rolf M. Zinkernagel)
 研究组织相容抗原, 发现细胞的中介免疫保
护特征。

学术贡献
免疫学中心法则:
“免疫细胞识别机制——双识别”
T 细胞?
保护实验小鼠对抗
脑膜炎病毒( LCMV )
杀手T 细胞只毒杀
表现相同组织相容抗原之感染细胞

两种细胞之间的作用具有
组织相容抗原限制性
具有攻击
性的T 细
胞不仅认
得病毒所
带的抗原

对组织相容抗原在免疫作用的角色加
以明确定位

为以后的研究免疫系统对抗病毒的作
用机转提供了正确方向
研究意义
传染病免疫力的了解以及疫苗的开发,被用
于发展癌症疫苗的基础
 对于自体免疫疾病,例如类风湿性关节炎、
糖尿病等,也提供了较明确的探究方向。

通向“诺贝尔”之
路

1944, born in Riehen, a village near Basel

Grandfather: Professor of German Literature at
the University of Basel

Father : employed by one of the former four big
pharmaceutical companies -- not as a chemist,
but as a biologist

Mother: a lab technician whose family was in
the watch-making business and in banking
Public school
Basel
 Study:
voluntary Latin
the school's more mathematically and
science-oriented subjects
 Hobbies:
handicraft, dancing , mountaineering

holiday exchange program
England
 12-16 years old
 read a lot
travel a lot through England, France and the
Scandinavian countries

University of Basel
Medicine or chemistry?
Medicine!
Reason: greater range of choices the
medical profession could offer
research
clinical activity
private practice in the mountains

1968
final board exams
married with Kathrin (classmate)

1969
work at the surgery department at one of
the hospitals in Basel
!! not the career to pursue
postgraduate

1969, Experimental Medicine at the
University of Zurich

1970-1972, the Department of
Biochemistry at the University of Lausanne,
learning about immunology, immunochemistry and the frustrations of
experimental lab work.
Postdoctoral
1972, join the Department of Microbiology in
Canberra
 cell-mediated immunity against Salmonella
and Listeria
 learn more about the role of cell-mediated
versus antibody-dependent immune effector
mechanisms in these infectious disease
models

Cooperate


the only empty space in the small labs at
the John Curtin School:
the lab occupied by Peter Doherty
cooperate on immune responses against
the LCMV virus
Result:
the discovery of the MHC restriction
enrol at the age of 28 as a PhD student
at ANU

1974, join Scripps to work on cellmediated immunity of auto-immune mice

1975, write up PhD thesis and Peter
Doherty correct its English language
工作与梦想
1976-1979, Department of
Immunopathology, Scripps Clinic and
Research Foundation
 1979-1992, Department of Pathology,
University of Zurich, University Hospital,
Zurich
 1992- Head, Institute of Experimental
Immunology, Zurich

自然界是科学研究的生命力所在,科学家
要到自然界、到日常生活现象中去寻找课
题
 赢得诺贝尔奖没有给生活带来改变,收到
邀请时,是去演讲还是继续工作?继续工
作!
 梦想:彻底了解疫苗如何发挥作用的机理,
能发现更多解决疾病的方法。
