Identification of First Cell Surface Antigens

June 11th, 1968 56 years ago

Lloyd J. Old identified the first cell surface antigens that could distinguish between different types of cells. This groundbreaking work at the New York University Medical Center laid the foundation for immunology and cancer research by targeting specific proteins on the surface of cells. With the identification of these antigens, scientists could better understand the immune response and develop new therapies and diagnostic tools.
