JULES BORDET
Jules Jean Baptiste Vincent Bordet who born in June 13, 1870 , Soignies, Belgium and died in April 6, 1961, Brussels ( at the age of 90) is a Belgian physicians, bacteriologists and immunologists.He was one of the early pioneers in immunity and founded serology. He received the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology in 1919 by his discovery of factors in blood serum that destroy bacteria and also the bacterial genus “ Bordetella” is named after him.He was educated and graduated as Doctor of Medicine in 1892 in Brussels. In 1894 he went to Paris to work at the Pasteur Institute until 1901, when he returned to Belgium to found the Pasteur Institute, Brussels.He has been Director of the Belgian Institute since its inception and Professor of Bacteriology, University of Brussels, since 1907. At Pasteur Institute, Paris, Bordet was researched and conducted about the destruction of bacteria and red corpuscles in blood serum (1894 - 1901). It was a significant contribution to the foundation of serology, the study of immune reactions in body fluids. His first studies described about the antimicrobic sera include two active substances, a specific antibody, which did not appear to be susceptible to fluctuations in temperature, and a second component that was heat sensitive which he called “alexin” ( now known as “ complement”), is present in the blood of all animals, whether immunized or not. Three years later, Bordet detected that red blood cells from one species (animal) that are injected into different type of species are demolished through a process called hemolysis which similar to bacteriolysis, a rupture of bacterial cells.
In Pasture Institute at Brussels, he continued to studies about the immunity research with the help of his brother in law, Octave Gengou. Their research developed the complement fixation test, a diagnostic technique that was used to notice the appearance of infectious agents in the blood, including those have causes some diseases such as typhoid, tuberculosis and especially, syphilis ( the Wassermann test). Five years later, after discovery the bacterium, when his son catch a whooping cough disease, Bordet and Gengou take a samples of the boy’s sputum to confine successfully the causal agent of the disease, now known as Bordetella pertussis. Later in the 1920s, Bordet started to turn his attention to another field, study of bacteriophage, which remained his primary research interest until his retirement in 1940.
After many years doing a research for his study, he has received many awards and honours are the Prix de la Ville de Paris (1911); the Hansen Prize and the Pasteur Medal, both awarded by the Swedish Medical Society (1913); the Grand Cordon de l'Ordre de la Couronne de Belgique (1930); the Grand Cordon de l'Ordre de Léopold (1937); and the Grand Croix de la Légion d'Honneur (1938). Especially the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 1919 for his discovery relating to immunity which he received one year later, 1920.
Jules Bordet ’s career was remarkable, his discovery have a huge influence to many field of science, his work was laid the foundation of immunity to the next generations to research more detail about his project and apply it in the serology.
In conclusion, nobody can’t denied the contribution of Jules Bardot.
In conclusion, nobody can’t denied the contribution of Jules Bordet; in addition to his being an acknowledged world authority in many branches of bacteriology, he was considered to be a great exponent and worker on immunology.
