Dr. Smith's research team created the first monoclonal T cells, which enabled them to discover the interleukin 2 (IL2) molecule, and the interleukin 2 receptor (IL2R). These advances led them to develop IL2 as an immunotherapy, and as a potential adjuvant for vaccines, to boost T cell immune responses. As well, Smith has recently introduced a new theory of how the immune system functions, "The Quantal Theory of Immunity" that is based on the understanding of the IL2/IL2R system.
