- Ehrlich's side-chain theory : the first (1896) comprehensive theory of antibody production, which proposed that antibody-producing cells have surface molecules (side chains) that can bind to antigens and that binding to a specific side chain causes the cell to produce more of the same side chain and to release these side chains into the serum as antibodies. Two of Ehrlich's postulates, that antibodies are identical to the antigen receptors and that antigen binding triggers the synthesis of antibody with the same specificity as the receptor, are now known to be essentially correct

Early in her career, in 1978, she included the name of her Afghan hound,
Galadriel Mirkwood, as a coauthorRef,
and the Journal of Experimental Medicine barred Matzinger from its
pages for 13 yearsRef;
"until the editor died", she says ! When the NIH considered Matzinger for
tenure, the canine coauthor question reemerged. The directors, she says,
could take a joke. "They decided it wasn't really fraud. It was a real
dog [a frequent lab visitor] and they said it had done no less research
than some other coauthors had".
Graduated in Medicine at University of Pavia, Italy, in 1976
Director of Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB), Bellinzona, Switzerland since 2000.
