Topic: Snell, George Davis


  
  George Davis Snell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Snell shared the 1980 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Baruj Benacerraf and Jean Dausset for their discoveries concerning "genetically determined structures on the cell surface that regulate immunological reactions".
It was Snell who introduced the concept of H antigens."[1]Snell's brilliant work in mice led to the discovery of HLA, the major histocompatibility complex, in humans (and all vertebrates) that is analogous to the H-2 complex in mice.
George Snell was born in Bradford, Massachusetts, the youngest of three schildren.

Snell graduated from Dartmouth College in 1926 and received a doctor of science degree from Harvard University in 1930.
Snell's studies of histocompatibility in mice resulted in the identification of the H-2 gene complex and subsequently to the recognition of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), an assortment of antigens (substances that cause the production of antibodies) that is common to the genetic makeup of all vertebrates.
Snell was coauthor of Histocompatibility with Dausset and Stanley Nathenson in 1976.

Venezuelan-born American pathologist, born 1920; co-winner, with Jean Baptiste Gabriel Dausset and George Davis Snell, of the Nobel prize for medicine or physiology in 1980 for their work on the major histocompatibility complex and the genetic control of immune responses.
Danish immunologist, born 1911; co-winner with Cesar Milstein and Georges J. Köhler of the Nobel prize for medicine or physiology in 1984 for his 3 theories: of the selective theory of antibody formation, of the T lymphocyte's distinction of “self” from “non-self,” and of the functional network of interacting antibodies and lymphocytes.

 History of the BTS
In 1936 George Davis Snell (1903-1995), working in the Jackson Laboratory in Maine, began to study the behaviour of transplanted tumours.
Snell realized that these principles regulated growth of normal tissue as well as tumour cells.
In 1946 he went to Bar Harbour, where, working with Snell's inbred mice he showed that his blood group antigen II was identical to Snell's locus, the H2 gene.

George Davis Snell (December 19, 1903 – June 6, 1996) was a U.S. geneticist and co-recipient of the 1980 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, together with Baruj Benacerraf and Jean Dausset, for discovery of the Major histocompatibility complex genes which encode cell surface molecules important for the immune system's distinction between self and non-self.
Snell was born in Bradford, Massachusetts in December of 1903; he was the youngest of three.
Snell received a Sc.D. from Bates College in 1982.

George Davis Snell und seine beiden mit ihm ausgezeichneten Kollegen beschäftigten sich maßgeblich mit der immunologischen Verträglichkeit von Geweben nach Transplantationen.
Benacerraf, Snell und Dausset konnten in ihren Experimenten nachweisen, dass diese Immunfaktoren genetisch fixiert sind.
Snell identifizierte vor allem die Gene, die für die Annahme und Abstoßung körperfremder Gewebe zuständig waren, während Benacerraf und Dausset an der Aufklärung biochemischer Schlüsselmoleküle in diesem Histokompatibilitätskomplex beteiligt waren.

He shared the 1980 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for his studies of the genetic factors of histocompatibility which govern transplanting tissue from one individual to another.
Snell identified the factors responsible as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) - an assortment of antigens (which cause the production of antibodies) common across the genetic makeup of all vertebrates.
Early in his career, Snell had been the first to show that x-rays can cause mutations in mammals, by showing that x-rays induce chromosome translocations in mice.«

 Jean Dausset Summary
H-2 had been discovered by American scientist George Snell in the 1940s, following research on skin grafts with the animals.
He shared the prize with Snell, whose work pioneered antigen study in the 1940s, and with Baruj Benacerraf, who had built upon Dausset's work.
Dausset was awarded 1980 Nobel Prize for Medicine, which he shared with George Snell and Baruj Benacerraf.

He also developed fluids and the means of circulating them so that transplanted tissues could be kept alive outside a living body in artificial media.
Theoretical work by Jean Dausset, George Davis Snell and Baruj Benacerraf on the genetic basis of histocompatibility paved the way for practical applications.
In the 1940s, Sir Peter Brian Medawar and Sir Macfarlane Burnet described foreign tissue rejection and acquired immunological tolerance, opening the way for transplant operations.
