OUTLINE OF THE CAREER OF RALPH AMBROSE KEKWICK Ralph Ambrose Kekwick was born on 11 November 1908 in Leytonstone in Essex. He was educated at the Leyton County High School for Boys and University College London, from where he graduated with First Class Honours B.Sc. in Chemistry in 1928. He remained at University College to undertake research, initially in physical chemistry under F.G. Donnan, then moving to study physical biochemistry under J.C. Drummond during which time he worked in close association with R.K. Cannan. In 1930 he was awarded a Bayliss-Sterling Memorial Scholarship and was also appointed Demonstrator in Biochemistry at University College. In 1931-1933 Kekwick held a Commonwealth Fund Fellowship. This enabled him to spend two years in the United States, again studying with R.K. research on the effects of anaerobic conditions on permeability. study of protein molecules in blood plasma. It separated out protein molecules to leave a pure Kekwick’s career as he was introduced to the ultracentrifuge and electrophoresis apparatus, both Kekwick returned to the UK in 1933 to take up a post as Lecturer at University College London. In 1935 Kekwick travelled to Sweden as a Rockefeller Foundation Fellow to work under T. Svedberg at the Institute of Physical Chemistry, University of Uppsala. This proved to be a key moment in developed at Uppsala. The ultracentrifuge, designed by Svedberg and colleagues, was used for the Cannan, who had by then moved to the New York University College of Medicine, before moving on to Princeton University and the Marine Biological Laboratories at Woods Hole, Massachusetts for role of gamma globulin in combating infection and the role of albumin in maintaining the correct be measured to give a sedimentation co-efficient (a characteristic property of the protein). This towards the positive pole more rapidly. These techniques contributed to the general understanding of the part the proteins played in biological activity, the importance of fibrinogen in blood clotting, the protein preparation, for example plasma albumin and globulins while the rate of sedimentation could allowed the molecular weight to be calculated and the proteins identified. The electrophoresis apparatus, designed by A.W.K. Tiselius, worked through the measurement of the negative electrical charge of proteins. As the size of the charge varies according to the protein’s chemical structure, when an electrical charge was passed through a solution, proteins with a greater charge migrated R.A. Kekwick NCUACS 118/4/03 volume of blood. It also allowed for the diagnosis of medical conditions in which ratios of proteins in blood plasma were abnormal. Following this visit the Lister Institute for Preventive Medicine in London acquired an ultracentrifuge and in 1937 Kekwick was awarded a research grant from the Medical Research Council for ultracentrifuge and electrophoretic investigations on pathological and immune sera, which he undertook at the Lister Institute. He was formally taken on the Scientific Staff of the Institute in 1940. During the Second World War Kekwick remained at the Lister Institute undertaking experimental and production work for the Medical Research Council's Blood Transfusion Research Committee. With A.S. McFarlane he devised a process to clarify outdated blood plasma so as to render it suitable for transfusion. He was appointed Head of the Lister’s Biophysics Division in 1943 and he and his team worked on methods of freeze-drying plasma and then of separating out proteins in blood plasma. At the end of the war the MRC established a Blood Products Laboratory at the Lister Institute’s station at Elstree, Hertfordshire. Kekwick worked closely with this Laboratory, acting as an adviser to it, but continued his own research at his laboratory in London. He continued research on blood plasma analysis with ultracentrifuge and electrophoretic techniques and working on practical improvements in blood transfusion processes. In the 1950s he developed a method of fractionating out a fibrinogen fraction rich in Factor VIII, the anti-haemophilic globulin. This led to the first clinical use of this Factor in treating haemophilia in 1957 and the establishment of a national laboratory a personal Chair in Biophysics in 1966 (Emeritus and Fellow 1971). with blood transfusion, haemophilia and hypogammaglobulinaemia. He also served on the In addition to his pioneering work in blood plasma research, Kekwick contributed to developments in dedicated to plasma fractionation. Kekwick’s association with University College London also Committee of the British Biophysical Society 1967-1970. Kekwick was elected to the Fellowship of continued after the war. In 1954 he was appointed Reader in Chemical Biophysics and appointed to haematology through his service on a number of Medical Research Council committees concerned the Royal Society, vol. 48 (2002), 233-249. ‘Ralph Ambrose Kekwick 11 November 1908-17 January 2000’, Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of Kekwick married twice; in 1933 to Barbara Stone (d. 1973) whom he had met while in the USA and with whom he had one daughter, and in 1974 to Margaret Mackay (d. 1982).

Kekwick NCUACS 118/4/03 DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION The collection is presented as given in the list of contents. It is dominated by very comprehensive documentation of Kekwick’s research. Section A, Biographical, is not extensive. It includes a copy of the Royal Society biographical memoir of Kekwick, obituaries, and material documenting Kekwick’s education, including a bound set of school reports from the Leyton County High School for Boys which indicate his early academic distinction. There is a small amount of correspondence and papers relating to scientific colleagues of Kekwick, including R.K. Cannan and C.S. Sherrington. The section concludes with a sequence of photographs, from a mounted photograph of Kekwick and F.G. Young as graduates in 1929 to 1971 photographs probably from Kekwick’s retirement party. Section B, Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine, presents very modest documentation of Kekwick’s long association with this Institute. The bulk of the material relates to the celebrations of the seventy- fifth anniversary of the Institute. Section C, Research, is the largest in the collection. It presents comprehensive documentation of Kekwick’s research over six decades, from earliest postgraduate study in 1929 up to retirement in (including photographic data), notes, graphs, calculations, correspondence and drafts of publications. 1929-1971 which document early work at University College London, the periods spent in the US in 1931-1933 and with T. Svedberg in Sweden in 1935, wartime work and ongoing postwar research. 1971 and beyond. The section is divided into four components. There are research notebooks There are also papers and photographs of research equipment. The section is completed by a number of ‘instructional notebooks’ containing instructions for preparation of different substances, the Section D, Publications and lectures, is very patchy in its coverage. Publications material includes a Kekwick’s folders and boxfiles which may include data from ultracentrifuge and electrophoresis tests There are extensive research notes, mostly dating from the mid 1930s to the early 1970s, found in There is also documentation of also a set of Kekwick’s offprints. The lectures material is a sequence of drafts for public and few drafts of publications, including two 1935 papers with R.K. Cannan and his memoirs of Sir Alan Drury for the Royal Society biographical memoir and the Dictionary of National Biography. There is Section E, Societies and organisations, principally documents Kekwick’s association with the Medical Research Council: the largest component of the section is papers of the MRC’s Blood Transfusion Research Committee, on which Kekwick served from 1948 to 1978. conduct of experiments etc, and a little outsize material, chiefly graphs. invitation lectures from 1947 to the late 1960s, in which Kekwick gave accounts of his work in progress and its significance.

Kekwick was a member of the committee and served on its Biological Standards Subcommittee. The committee was dissolved in 1965 but re-constituted in 1967 ‘to advise the Council on matters relating to the research aspects of blood transfusion’.
