Portrait of Matthew D. Scharff, MD. Dr. Scharff received his MD from New York University School of Medicine in 1959. Dr. Scharff taught at Albert Einstein College of Medicine as Professor and Chairman of the Department of Cell Biology, Director of the Division of Biological Sciences, and Assistant Director of the Cancer Center. He developed a new approach to the exploration of the structure and function of immunoglobins.

Zoltan Ovary

Photograph of Zoltan Ovary, MD (1907-2005), in his lab with visiting high school students. Dr. Ovary became a member of the New York University School of Medicine faculty in 1959. While at NYU, working with Baruj Benacerraf and others, he discovered the “carrier-effect,” i.e., the same carrier protein for the foreign substance must be used in subsequent immunizations to produce the maximum number of antibodies; and the once controversial, but for now fundamental concept that there are different classes of antibodies with different biological properties.

Photograph of Zoltan Ovary, MD (1907-2005), demonstrating one of his key contributions to immunology, the Passive Cutaneous Anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction, in the 1960s. Dr. Ovary became a member of the New York University School of Medicine faculty in 1959. While at NYU, working with Baruj Benacerraf and others, he discovered the “carrier-effect,” i.e., the same carrier protein for the foreign substance must be used in subsequent immunizations to produce the maximum number of antibodies; and the once controversial, but for now fundamental concept that there are different classes of antibodies with different biological properties.
