'''Merrill W. Chase''' (September 17, 1905 – January 5, 2004) was an [[immunologist]] working at [[Rockefeller University]] in New York City who is credited with discovering cell-mediated immunology in the early 1940s. While working with Dr. [[Karl Landsteiner]], Dr. Chase discovered that white blood cells, and not antibodies alone, were important instruments of the immune system. His findings laid the groundwork for later research that discovered the role of [[B cells]], [[T cells]] and other types of [[white blood cells]].<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2004/01/22/nyregion/22CHAS.html "Merrill W. Chase, Scientist Who Advanced Immunology, Dies at 98"], by Anahad O'Connor, January 22, 2004 ''[[New York Times]]'', p. C15. Retrieved 24 June 2007</ref> Recognizing that other scientists were discovering multiple functions of the immune system, he established an independent Immunology laboratory at Rockefeller.<ref>[http://www.nasonline.org/publications/biographical-memoirs/memoir-pdfs/chase-merrill.pdf Merrill W.
