  Lwoff, André
Lwoff's discoveries brought him (with François Jacob and Jacques Monod) the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1965.
Lwoff, born of Russian-Polish parents, was educated at the University of Paris.
In his prizewinning research, Lwoff showed that, after infection, the virus is passed on to succeeding generations of bacteria in a noninfective form called a prophage.

Then in 1961 they postulated the existence of messenger RNA that carried the required information for protein synthesis from the operson to the ribosomes, where protein synthesis took place.
Jacob, Monod and Lwoff were awarded the 1965 Nobel Prize for physiology or Medicine.

Several years before I started to work on these viruses, André Lwoff at the Pasteur Institute in Paris published a brilliant article on the persistence of viruses of bacteria in their hosts.
Later I was to spend a year with him at the Pasteur Institute, but at that time I naively thought that the model he proposed for bacteria would hold for the human virus as well.
I realized very soon that the test of Lwoff’s model with respect to its relevance to HSV was at least a light-year away.

Transfection of U937 cells with GAAP-1 activates p53 and IRF-1 expression and leads to apoptosis, whereas over-expression of GAAP-1 in K562 cells that lack p53 and IRF-1 induces cell differentiation.
Alterations in the 6p24 locus containing the GAAP-1 gene are frequent in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), and AML-derived cell lines display reduced GAAP-1 mRNA levels.
