Michael Heidelberger ForMemRS (April 29, 1888 – June 25, 1991) was an American immunologist, often regarded as the father of modern immunology. He and Oswald Avery showed that the polysaccharides of pneumococcus are antigens, enabling him to show that antibodies are proteins.
Antigens and Antibodies: Heidelberger and The Rise of Quantitative Immunochemistry, 1928-1954 Michael Heidelberger's studies of the immunochemistry of antibodies, antigen, and complement redefined the field of immunology and founded it on the precise, quantitative basis of analytical chemistry.
Michael Heidelberger was one of the fathers of modern immunology and the founder of immunochemistry, the branch of biochemistry that examines the chemical aspects of immune reactions on a molecular level. By applying the quantitative methods of analytical chemistry to the study of the mammalian immune system, he moved immunology from the ...
