The Royal Society's biography of Professor Cohen

notes that:

Perhaps of greatest significance was his work with malaria.

Sydney (with Ian McGregor) showed for the first time, that immunity could be passively transferred with immune IgG.

An in vitro assay was devised for analysing the mechanism of malaria immunity and the variant specificity of protective antibody was demonstrated.

This provided a means of isolating malarial antigens and free merozoites and for analysing the basis of host specificity.

A practical method has resulted for screening antimalarial drugs.
