César Milstein. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1984 was awarded jointly to Niels K. Jerne, Georges J.F. Köhler and César Milstein "for theories concerning the specificity in development and control of the immune system and the discovery of the principle for production of monoclonal antibodies".
Backbone model of an antibody. César Milstein and Georges Köhler were trying to understand the mechanisms responsible for the remarkable diversity of antibodies. Through this research, they invented a way to stimulate cells to provide unlimited production of a specific antibody – a monoclonal antibody.
