| Description | Certificate of Election |
| Citation | Humphrey, John Herbert (Mill Hill, London). MA, MD (Cambridge). Member of Scientific Staff, Medical Reserch Council. Distinguished as an immunologist. His studies of antibody synthesis are outstanding. By experiments in vivo (underlined) and in vivo (underlined), with the skiful application of isotopic labelling techniques, he has revealed new and precise information of great importance regarding the sites and rates of antibody production and the part played by the various antibody-forming tissues at different stages of the immunisation process. Recently he and his colleagues have made advances in the study of analphylaxis and delayed hypersensitivity. Other work includes extensive studies on hyaluronidase, development of a theory of the plate assay of antibiotics and its application to standardisation problems, analysis of Arthus reactions, and studies of the biochemistry of plasma proteins.
