----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

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 )

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。
