Sir Peter Brian Medawar was an English #immunologist and author who shared, with Sir Frank Burnet, the 1960 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery of acquired immunological tolerance, which enabled #organ and tissue #transplantation.
Medawar inoculated the embryos of mice, before they had developed the ability to form #antibodies, with tissue #cells from another strain. Subsequently, the “foreign” proteins were accepted, even when later the capability to form antibodies existed. #Skin grafts from the second strain were then accepted by the inoculated mice.
He is regarded as Father of Transplantation Immunology.
