	Each of these projects apart from the CSIRO contract related to aspects of the immune response. The NHMRC funded project followed on the discovery, made during Susan’s PhD studies, that tolerance (the ability of an animal to accept foreign grafted tissue) is an active state maintained by suppressor cells which are specific to the histocompatibility antigens of the grafted tissue. Much of the subsequent work was on the nature and behaviour of suppressor cells and resulted in a number of publications in refereed journals, including Nature and the Journal of Experimental Medicine. Also relating to the immune response was fundamental research, using an animal model developed in the laboratory, into the high incidence of tumours in human kidney transplant recipients. The research into glomerulonephritis investigated the role of immune cells in a specific form of glomerulonephritis. The contract with the CSIRO involved animal trials on a potential anti-cancer drug with the object of establishing any adverse effects, particularly on lung tissue.

	Susan’s research depended upon the use of high-quality inbred animal models. These were not readily available in New South Wales at the time. To satisfy the needs of her laboratory she took over responsibility for the Blackburn Animal House in the Faculty of Medicine and established it as a unit for the production of such inbred rodents. She designed the unit and its equipment, imported pedigree stock, established the inbreeding program and trained staff in its application and the general care of the animals. Once established, the animal house provided rats and mice to many research laboratories inside and outside the University and supplied breeding nuclei to other breeding units in Australia and overseas.
