Örjan Ouchterlony

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Örjan Thomas Gunnarson Ouchterlony (born January 14, 1914 in Stockholm , † December 25, 2004 ) was a Swedish doctor and bacteriologist.

Live and act

Ouchterlony completed his medical studies at the Karolinska Institute until 1942 . He then worked at the State Laboratory for Bacteriology (Statens Bakteriologiska Laboratorium), interrupted by a stay with Jacques Oudin at the Pasteur Institute . In 1949 he was with a dissertation on the diagnosis of diphtheria doctorate . From 1952 he was professor of bacteriology at the University of Gothenburg . In addition to guest stays at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital (1954) and the University of Montana (1972), Ouchterlony also worked in laboratories in developing countries ( Hyderabad , 1959, Dacca , 1968, Mwanza , 1985). In 1980 he retired .

He developed the two-dimensional immunodiffusion test ( Ouchterlony test ) named after him for the immunological identification of antigens .

In 1961 Ouchterlony was awarded the Paul Ehrlich and Ludwig Darmstaedter Prize . He was a member of the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala (1960), the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (1968) and the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina (1971).

Ouchterlony was married to Marianne Schröder from 1942. The couple had six sons.
