How were Transfer Factors discovered?
In 1949, Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence, distinguished immunologist at New York University, determined that an immune response could be transferred from a donor to a recipient — through a white blood cell extract. He concluded that the extract contained a factor capable of transferring the donor’s immunity information to the recipient and named the substance transfer factor.
In 1949, Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence determined that an improved immune response could be transferred from an individual who had recovered from a specific illness to a recipient who had not experienced that illness. He discovered a substance capable of transferring the donor’s immune information to the recipient and named the substance transfer factor.
