Abstract:

The continuing expansion of the diagnostic virologist’s armamentarium by electron and fluorescence microscopy resulted in a progressive unmasking of the virological causes of disease and more rapid diagnosis. The distinction between hepatitis A and B was made in the 1940s, yet identification of a cause of serum hepatitis, hepatitis B, awaited a serendipitous finding by serology in the 1960s. The diagnosis of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in particular, and viruses in general, took a great leap forward with adaptation of a diagnostic technique known as radioimmunoassay (RIA), developed by Solomon Berson and Rosalyn Yalow to measure very small amounts of insulin. Both achievements, the discovery of the Australia antigen and the development of RIA, yielded Nobel prizes. Subsequently, enzyme immunoassays (EIA), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and other immunological assays had major impacts on virological diagnosis. Yellowing of skin and conjunctivae must have been among the most observable signs of illness for millennia. A new form of jaundice, homologous serum jaundice, later termed serum hepatitis, was recognized as a complication of yellow fever vaccination in the 1930s. The remarkable excess of stable antigen conferring antigenic specificity, variably called Australia antigen, hepatitis-associated antigen, and HBV surface antigen (HBsAg), offered unique diagnostic possibilities. When combined with the remarkable sensitivity of isotope-labeled reagents and the exquisite specificity of immunological recognition, the way was opened to establish sufficiently sensitive assays to screen the blood supply.

MacCallum was asked to offer an opinion as to whether Winston Churchill should receive immunization against yellow fever on a trip through the Middle East to Moscow. MacCallum counseled against the immunization, based on inadequate time for immunity to develop. He may have spared the Prime Minister exposure to hepatitis virus as a contaminant of the vaccine with potential consequences for impairing his capacity to lead the war effort.
