THE GENESIS OF 'FEEDER CELLS': CONCEPT AND PRACTICE

摘要

Late in the summer of 1954 I left the University of Chicago, lured by Theodore T. Puck to become his second graduate student in the Departmenl of Biophysics at the University of Colorado Medical Center in Denver, Coincidentally, my first postbaccalaureate job at the University of Chicago was in a laboratory where Ted Puck had led a war-time project on the bactericidal action of propylene glycol vapor on microorganisms suspended in air (Puck et al., 1943). While at the University of Chicago I had gained invaluable experience working as a research assistant for Aaron Novick and Leo Szilard in the Institute for Radiobiology, and then for Paul Talalay in the Ben May Caner Laboratory. I was privileged to see science practiced in its most noble form.
