TitleMitchison, Nicholas Avrion: certificate of election to the Royal Society
DescriptionCitation typed
CitationDiscovered the transference of transplantation immunity by sensitised cells, so providing the key evidence relating transplantation immunity to hypersensitivity reaction of 'delayed' type. Devised a method for revealing mixtures of cells of different genotypes in vivo and used it to be equal first with demonstration that the 'radiation recovery factor' is a graft of living cells and not a humoral agent. Carried out the most exact quantitative analysis of tolerance hitherto attempted in a cellular system and proved inter alia that persistence of tolerance depends on persistence of antigen. Mitchison has thus made notable and distinctive contributions to immunology.
