	Frank MacFarlane Burnet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir Frank MacFarlane Burnet (born September 3, 1899 in Traralgon, Victoria; died August 31, 1985) was an Australian biologist.
		Macfarlane Burnet was educated at Victorian State Schools and Geelong College, before attending the University of Melbourne.
		Macfarlane Burnet's studies were principally directed in the areas of virology in his early career and immunity in his later career.

	Burnet, (Frank) Macfarlane - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Burnet, (Frank) Macfarlane
		Burnet was born in eastern Victoria and studied at Melbourne and London universities.
		Burnet was the first to investigate the multiplication mechanism of bacteriophages (viruses that attack bacteria) and devised a method for identifying bacteria by the bacteriophages that attack them.
		Burnet's second major contribution to immunology was made in 1957 – his ‘clonal selection’ theory of antibody formation, which explains why a particular antigen stimulates the production of its own specific antibody.

		In 1932-3 Burnet took leave of absence from WEHI to hold a fellowship at the National Institute for Medical Research in Hampstead, London, where he witnessed what can now be seen as a "golden age" of virology, including the isolation of the influenza virus and its transmission to ferrets.
		Burnet felt that Jerne's idea was intriguing but wrong because it did not fit what was already known about the mechanism of how genes work and how proteins are synthesised, and he was struggling in his own mind to formulate a better solution.
		Burnet's exposition included the unambiguous postulate of clones bearing unique receptors, clonal abortion as a mechanism of self tolerance, the possibility of autoimmune disease as a result of "forbidden clones", clonal expansion as a basis for immunological memory, and somatic mutation as a mechanism for affinity maturation.

	The Australian Institute of Political Science
		Macfarlane Burnet was born in Traralgon, Victoria on 3 September 1899.
		From these studies, Burnet developed a theory for the cellular basis of immunology; this theory proved to be the key paradigm for immunology, and Burnet received the Nobel Prize for this work in 1960.
		In honour of Burnet's lifetime achievements, the Macfarlane Burnet Centre for Medical Research was established in Melbourne.

		Burnet subjected the material to the usual series of tests in experimental animals, making inoculations in guinea pigs, monkeys, mice, rats and on the chorioallantoic membrane, but soon concentrated on studies in mice, using normal and immune guinea pigs to determine the specificity of the findings (60).
		Burnet and his colleagues (73) found that cynomolgus monkeys were readily infected by all routes of inoculation, including feeding, swabbing the pharynx, and after laparotomy, inoculation directly into the stomach or small intestine.
		Burnet's first paper on animal virology was the demonstration that the causative agent of a disease of canaries was a poxvirus (82), a study that led to his lifelong devotion to the use of the developing egg as a laboratory animal.

	Sir Frank MacFarlane Burnet - Biography
		In 1946, in collaboration with W. Beveridge, Burnet devised a technique for cultivating viruses on the chorioallantoic membrane of chicken embryos and a method for determining the relative concentration of the material inoculated into these membranes by counting and statistically analysing the number of lesions that then appear on the membranes.
		Burnet has embodied his experience and experimental results, not only in numerous scientific papers, but in several books which show that he is a master, not only of a clear and attractive literary style, but also of lucid exposition of complex ideas and scientific facts.
		Burnet received many honours and distinctions, among which the Fellowship of the Royal Society of London (1942), where he was awarded the Royal Medal in 1947 and the Copley Medal in 1959, and where he delivered the Croonian Lecture in 1950.

		On Sept. 3, 1899, F. Macfarlane Burnet was born in the country town of Traralgon.
		A failure by a person to tolerate his or her own tissues might be produced by a freak mutation in the antibody-producing system, and a person would then attack his or her own organs to produce autoimmune disease.
		Burnet's life and work are delightfully described in his Changing Patterns: An Atypical Autobiography (1968); his studies in immunology are treated in his Self and Not-Self: Cellular Immunology (1969).

		Burnet did not foresee how the 'oncogene' hypothesis, proposed in 1969 as a direct outcome of research in tumour virology(187), would change and develop so that by the late 1980s, in a radically different form, it promised to provide 'the final common pathway to tumorigenesis'(188).

		JAYNE-MAREE SEDGMAN: Well, Michael Cathcart, we know that discoveries made by Frank Macfarlane Burnet in the field of immunology helped cure some diseases, but he also feared that his work might lead to a population explosion in Asia, and that led him to become involved in biological weapons planning.
		And Macfarlane Burnet was our top man in the field, and he was enthusiastic, I think you could say, about the potential of biological and chemical weapons for keeping the Asiatic hordes, as he saw them, at bay.
		But there is an astonishing journey there, in which he goes from being a man of his times, as people keep saying, to really a leader in progressive and humane thinking.

		His understanding was facilitated by his acceptance of the cytoplasm inheritance theory, which emphasized the importance of the embryonic host’s changing conditions according to its age.
		This work led Burnet to claim in 1949 that the "self" of the organism was defined during its development, and Peter Medawar's demonstration of this claim became the basis for awarding them the Nobel Prize in 1960.
