Weak Points of Host Defense Against Microbial Invasion Peter C. Doherty Department of Immunology, St Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee, USA Abstract Most successful vaccines do not establish sterilizing immunity, but function to prevent the development of disease by limiting the blood-bourne distribution of either the pathogen or a microbial toxin to the site of potential pathology. The fact that infectious agents often replicate to a limited extent in vaccinated individuals constitutes a major challenge for defeating (for example) the human immunodeficiency viruses that have the capacity to subvert the immune response. Much can be done from the public health aspect to limit the impact of many infectious diseases, but poverty, conflict with environmental needs and established cultural practices and beliefs can create major difficulties. Infectious diseases do not recognize national boundaries and must be dealt with as a collective, international responsibility. Introduction By the mid 1960’s some immunologists were confidently stating that the era of infectious disease was effectively over. Vaccines and antibiotics were dealing effectively with many of the pathogenic viruses and bacteria, at least those that were prevalent in the advanced countries. The impact of diseases like malaria could be limited by public health measures such as mosquito control and, with some notable exceptions (The Rockefeller Foundation), comparatively little attention was given to the high childhood mortality rates in the developing world. Much of this was blamed in a generic way on "malnutrition", which was often a contributing factor but tended to obscure other underlying problems.

Jean Paul Sartre and Ernest Hemingway simultaneously. I decided to be the man of action rather than the philosopher, and resolved to graduate in veterinary science and pursue a research career. At this stage I was just 17 years old, and would probably have made a very different decision if I had been more mature. When I graduated, I was contracted (under the terms of a "bonded" scholarship) to work for several years in the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Stock. I expressed enthusiasm for laboratory-based research, so the Department immediately sent me to the country as a rural veterinary officer. I spent some months driving large distances to post-mortem cattle and pigs that had died of unknown causes, and to survey cattle for various venereal diseases. This resulted in the diagnosis of Trichomoniasis in an area where it was thought that complete eradication had been achieved. Realizing that I was a danger to their regulatory effort, the Department quickly brought me back to the state veterinary laboratory, the Animal Research Institute (ARI), Yeerongpilly. My task was to conduct a large-scale, externally-funded experiment on the epidemiology of bovine leptospirosis. This project involved injecting several cows with Leptospira pomona

Doherty will present an address entitled "Cell-Mediated Immunity in Virus Infections" at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine on Thursday, October 2 at 7:30 p.m. in the College Center. Doherty holds the Michael F. Tamer Chair of Biomedical Research and serves as chairman of the Department of Immunology at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn. He is also professor of pediatrics and pathology at the University of Tennessee. His pioneering work in cellular immunology has provided important insights regarding T-Cell initiation of the body's immune response, work that has extraordinary implications for autoimmune diseases, organ transplantation, graft rejection and vaccine design. Doherty's lecture kicks off the VMRCVM's six-week " New Horizons in Veterinary Medicine Speaker Series ," which has been produced in honor of Virginia Tech's 125th Anniversary Celebration "Our institution is nationally recognized for academic programs which prepare veterinarians for work in "non-traditional" areas of veterinary medicine," said Eyre. "Many of these speakers will showcase some of these emerging ways in which this profession is serving society, and we are delighted they have agreed to be a part of the series."

Doherty, Peter C. My childhood was spent on the outskirts of the sub-tropical city of Brisbane. I have a younger brother, Ian, and we grew up as part of a traditional, extended family that was very much influenced by the values of our two grandmothers. The one was a devout Methodist, the other a lapsed Quaker who was born in England and embraced the informal Australian life style with great enthusiasm. My parents (Linda and Eric) were first and second generation Australians, the various elements of the family coming from County Louth (in the 1840's), Lancashire and Essex. Eric Doherty, a clever and entertaining man, trained initially as a telephone mechanic and was an administrator involved in the planning of telephone services. His mother had been left in straitened financial circumstances when my grandfather succumbed to pneumonia during the 1919 influenza epidemic. My father communicated his frustration at not having received an adequate formal education and, with his strong encouragement, the desire to learn and understand became the major focus of my life. Linda Byford was a piano teacher who, with her two brothers, spent much of her youth on the tennis court. After marriage she cared for her family, played Chopin Debussy , and Beethoven and grew roses. She gave me an appreciation, and emotional need for, classical music, but did not pass on the genes for tennis. The Byfords were devastated by the death of the eldest son, who was captured at the fall of Singapore and lost in a Japanese transport torpedoed by an American submarine. I remember my other Byford uncle shivering with recurrent malaria that he contracted during the fighting in New Guinea. I share Alfred Nobel's conviction that war is the greatest of all human disasters. Infectious disease runs a good second.

Doherty, Ph.D., and Rolf M. Zinkernagel, M.D., immunologists whose experiments revolutionized the field by explaining the mechanism of T-cell recognition in cell-mediated immunity, have won the 1996 Nobel Prize for Medicine. Dr. Doherty is chairman of the immunology department at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis and Dr. Zinkernagel is professor and director of the Institute of Experimental Immunology at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. Drs. Doherty and Zinkernagel discovered T cells simultaneously recognize MHC self-protein and a foreign antigen on the surface of virally infected cells. Their discovery of MHC Restriction of T-Cell Recognition opened the door to an understanding of the immune system that has impacted autoimmune disease research, vaccine design, organ transplantation and the understanding of immune surveillance. Drs. Doherty and Zinkernagel began working together in 1973 at the Australian National University in Canberra. Dr. Doherty joined St. Jude Hospital in 1988.
