Description:

Nobel Laureate F. Peyton Rous, who was a pioneer in research on the link between viruses and cancer, produced these notes from a conversation with Avery. The two scientists exchanged ideas on how to separate the virus from the antibody, with Avery suggesting to Rous that he read the papers of, or contact personally, several other scientists who worked on the subject. These notes are a wonderful example of the cooperation and collaboration that often characterizes scientific research.
