Jean Baptiste Gabriel Joachim Dausset (* 19 October 1916 in Toulouse) was a French physician and who itself predominantly with the Immunologie and transplant ion medicine busy. It kept 1977 the Robert cook price and 1980 common to the Nobelpreis for medicine and physiology with Baruj Benacerraf and George Davis Snell for the discovery of genetically certain cellular surface textures, by which immunological reactions are steered.

Biography

Jean Dausset was born 1916 as a son of a physician and visited the High School Michelet in Vanves with Paris. It studied thereafter at the faculty for medicine in Paris and went 1937 to an urban hospital of the city, where it was active as Assistenzarzt. 1939 it was drawn to the Armnee and served into a medical Korp. The graduation was made 1945 by Transfusionsmedizin, afterwards it specialized in the thus the investigation of the blood.

1946 it became the director of the national French of blood transfusion center in Paris, where it remained until 1962, afterwards took place an appointment for the chair for to those Paris university. From 1969 to 1977 he was a professor for immune at the faculty Lariboisiere Saint Louis and from 1968 to 1984 in addition director of the research range immune genetics at national medical Forschungsinstitut. From 1978 to 1988 it went as a professor for experimental medicine to the de France.

Work

Jean Dausset and its both colleagues distinguished with it concerned themselves considerably with the immunological compatibility from fabrics to transplant ions. Benacerraf, Snell and Dausset could prove in their experiments that these immune factors are genetically fixed. They are considerably responsible for the fact that it is experimentally possible to examine these factors since they could prove that itself also on the white blood corpuscles, which leukocytes the same factors find as with other body cells. Thus an immune factor system could be developed, which similarly and be already accomplished with that defence reactions can function to the systems of group of bloods by tests with patient blood.

Dausset and Benacerraf were occupied parallel at the clearing-up of biochemical key molecules in this while Snell identified the genes, which were responsible for the acceptance and repulsion of body-strange fabrics as a Genetiker above all.
