Transplant pioneer Jean Dausset, MD, the French Nobel laureate who discovered the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system that made human tissue typing for transplantation possible, died of natural causes June 6, 2009 in Mallorca, Spain. He was 92.
Dausset's discovery in 1958 of the HLA system allowed physicians to verify compatibility between the donor and recipient of an organ to be transplanted.
In 1980, Dausset was awarded a second Nobel Prize for medicine with Americans George Snell and Baruj Benacerraf, for their work on genetically determined structures on cell surfaces that regulate immunological reactions.
