摘要

Frank Macfarlane Burnet and Joshua Lederberg, Nobel laureates of 1960 and 1958, are each giants: Burnet is the grand old man of Australian virology and immunology; Lederberg is the brilliant founder of the new discipline of bacterial genetics. During three heady months in 1957, I was the meat in their sandwich, and had the good fortune of instigating a turning point in the exciting problem of how cells make antibodies. Mammals can make antibodies to virtually anything, including synthetic chemicals. How can the cells of the immune system, the lymphocytes, fabricate such diversity? Paul Ehrlich was the first to offer an answer in 1900 with his 'side-chain' theory. He imagined stereochemical configurations on antibodies that were complementary to corresponding configurations on foreign agents (antigens). He postulated that antibodies existed as 'side chains' on the surface of cells. When an antigen came along, it united with the appropriate side chains, which the cell then overproduced and―hey presto! ― you have antibodies.
