Jean Dausset

Jean Dausset , 1916-, French immunologist. He was the laboratory director of the National Blood Transfusion Center and was a professor at the Univ. of Paris (1958-77) and the Collège de France. He identified a gene complex (human leucocyte A complex) that accounted for different immunological reactions to blood transfusions in humans. This was similar to the H-2 complex in mice identified by George Snell . Dausset, Snell, and Baruj Benacerraf shared the 1980 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries concerning the relationship between genetics and the immune system.
