Sela is known for his research in immunology, particularly for research on synthetic antigens, molecules that trigger the immune system to attack.

This work of Sela has led to the discovery of the genetic control of the immune response, as well as to the design of vaccines based on synthetic molecules.

He was among the first who introduced the use of linear and branched synthetic polypeptides as antigens, and this brought about a better understanding of immunological phenomena.
