Abstract:Werner Henle, the son of a surgeon and grandson of anatomist-histologist Jacob Henle, was born in Dortmund, Germany. He attended the University of Munich from 1929-1930 and transferred to the University of Heidelberg in 1930 where he finished the course work needed for medical degree in 1934. Gertrude Szpingier was born in Mannheim, Germany and received her medical degree from the University of Heidelberg in 1936. The Henles are the most well known, however, for their research on Epstein-Barr virus. Their discovery of the relationship between Epstein-Barr virus and cancer demonstrated that the presence of certain viruses in the nucleus of a cell could transform a healthy cell into a malignant one.

Biographical Note

Werner and Gertrude Szpingier Henle were a prodigious force in virology, immunology, and viral oncology during the second half the twentieth century. Researching together, they explored the various mechanisms involved in viral infection. A pragmatic research team, the Henles utilized their research to develop methods of diagnosis and immunization from infectious diseases.

The Henles first received acclaim for their work on infectious viruses. In 1943, they convincingly demonstrated the effectiveness of an influenza vaccine. The development of a rapid test for diagnosing mumps and an evaluation of a vaccine for mumps has also been credited to the Henles. In cooperation with Dr. Joseph Stokes, Jr., the Henles demonstrated how gamma globulin could be employed to hinder the development and proliferation of infectious hepatitis.

In addition to their contributions to disease prevention, the Henles' research on the mechanism of viral infections led to the discovery of three disease states: latency, persistency, and viral interference. Their research on viral interference laid the groundwork for the later discovery of interferon.

The Henles are the most well known, however, for their research on Epstein-Barr virus. They demonstrated the causal relationship between Epstein-Barr virus and infectious mononucleosis. Further research on Epstein-Barr led the Henles to conclude that EBV aided in the development of two human cancers, Burkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. This significant relationship between Epstein-Barr virus and cancer demonstrated that the presence of certain viruses in the nucleus of a cell could transform a healthy cell into a malignant one. Applying this discovery to current cancer research, scientists are now studying how non-viral cancers are induced.

The Henles continued their research on Epstein-Barr virus and disease-induced immunodeficiencies such as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Hodgkins disease, ataxia-telangiectasia, Chediak-Higashi syndrome, and X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome until Werner's death in 1987. After his death, Gertrude concluded their research.

Werner Henle, the son of a surgeon and grandson of anatomist-histologist Jacob Henle, was born in Dortmund, Germany on August 27, 1910. He attended the University of Munich from 1929-1930 and transferred to the University of Heidelberg in 1930 where he finished the course work needed for medical degree in 1934. The Nazi regime posed threats for Werner whose grandfather, Jacob Henle, was of Jewish descent (although baptized). Werner was classified as 25% non-Aryan and was not permitted to finish the internship required for the M.D. degree in any university, state or city hospital. Finding a hospital to finish the required internship was difficult. Fortunately, Werner was accepted at the Abteilung fur Pathologie of the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut fur Medizinische Forschung in Heidelberg. After being transferred to a low-profile department at this institute, Werner completed the needed internship for his medical degree. It became "increasingly clear" to Werner that he could "not stay in Germany and pursue a career to my liking." Thus, Werner came to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1936 after being granted an instructorship at the University of Pennsylvania.

From 1936-1939, Werner served as an associate instructor in the microbiology department at the Medical School of the University of Pennsylvania. In 1937, Gertrude Szpingier, Werner's fiancee whom he had meet during his years at University of Heidelberg, emigrated to the United States. Gertrude was born in Mannheim, Germany on April 3, 1912. She received her medical degree from the University of Heidelberg in 1936. The day after Gertrude's arrival in America, she and Werner were married. Gertrude then joined Werner as a faculty member in the microbiology department at the University of Pennsylvania.

In 1939, Werner was promoted to associate professor in the virology department, University of Pennsylvania. In 1940, he became a member of the research team at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. One year later, Gertrude joined Werner as an associate professor of virology at the University of Pennsylvania and a member of the research staff at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. After more than 45 years service to the University of Pennsylvania, Werner and Gertrude retired from the University faculty in 1982. They continued their research at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia until a few months prior to Werner's death in July 1987.

Werner and Gertrude were members of many health organizations and professional societies. They were active participants in the American Academia of Microbiology, the Tissue Culture Association, and the Society for American Microbiologists. Werner was also a member of the American Association of Immunologists, the Society for General Microbiology, the American Public Health Association, the New York Academia of Science, and the American Society for Cancer Research. Werner served as a consultant for the United States Surgeon General, the United States Army, and many different international health committees and hospital boards. Among their many awards and honors, the Henles received the Heart of Variety Show Bus Award in 1969; the Bristol-Meyers Award for Distinguished Achievement in Cancer Research in 1979; the Mead Johnson Award in 1950; the Billings Bronze Medal for Scientific Exhibit in 1953; the Smith, Kline, and French Award for Excellence in Research in 1971; the Robert-Koch-Medaille (one of West Germany's highest honors) in 1971; the Robert de Villeirs Award of the Leukemia Society of America in 1975; the Founders in Cancer Immunology Award from the Cancer Research Institute, Inc. in 1975; the Virus Cancer Program Award from the National Cancer Institute in 1975; the Scientific Award from the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Cancer Society in 1977; and the Children's Hospital's Gold Medal Award in 1983.

Collection Summary

The collection contains correspondence, lab notebooks, and the Henles' unpublished autobiography (separately cataloged as MS C 460). The bulk of material is from the 1970's and 1980's. A smaller portion of the collection dates back to the 1950's and 1960's. The collection's prevalent emphasis is professional research work and correspondence. Little personal correspondence is included. The majority of materials are reflective of the research work Werner and Gertrude Henle conducted at the University of Pennsylvania and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. While Werner and his wife Gertrude conducted the majority of their research jointly, the correspondence is predominately Werner's. Gertrude's involvement, however, can be more clearly discerned in the lab notebooks in which she appeared to record lab results as frequently as Werner. The collection would be valuable to any scholar researching the history of virology and its practical application to disease prevention as well as such topics in scientific research as procuring funding for research, the necessity for collaboration in scientific studies and the issue of gender in scientific research.

The collection is organized into 3 series: Correspondence, 1955-1987; Lab Notebooks, 1963-1987; Autobiography: Growing Up with Virology, [1986?].

The Lab Notebooks series contains 8 subseries: Epstein-Barr Virus Associated Malignancies and Immunodeficiencies; Epstein-Barr Asssociated Malignancies and Immunodeficiencies: Burkitt's Lymphoma and CaPNS; Epstein-Barr Associated Malignancies and Immunodeficiences: Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma; Epstein-Barr Virus Serology Studies; Herpes Studies; Infectious Mononucleosis And Chronic Mononucleosis Virus; Miscellaneous Notebooks; Multiple Sclerosis.

Lab Notebooks, 1963-1987

The Henles' lab notebooks span their research work from 1963 to 1987. In these lab notebooks, the Henles recorded the raw data from their experiments. The queries directing their research and an analysis of their findings are often included in the notebooks. The notebooks came to the library in binders with different headings. While the binders have been removed for preservation reasons, the integrity of the notebooks has been maintained. The headings that appeared on the binders were diverse - some listing researchers' names, others subject names, and still others geographical locations of the studies.
To create organization in the collection, the notebooks were placed in boxes according to subject matter. Original binder headings have been preserved on the individual folders containing the notebooks. The box subject headings are as follows: Epstein-Barr Virus Associated Malignancies and Immunodeficiencies - General; Epstein-Barr Virus Associated Malignancies and Immunodeficiencies - Burkitts Lymphoma; Epstein-Barr Virus associated Malignancies and Immunodeficiencies -Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma; Epstein-Barr Virus Serology Studies; Herpes Studies; Infectious and Chronic Mononucleosis Studies; Miscellaneous Notebooks; Multiple Scoliosis Studies.

Autobiography: Growing Up with Virology, [1986?]

Call Number: MS C 460
The Henles' autobiography appears to have been written by Werner Henle. Werner's narrative is insightful and full of personal vignettes that give a sense of the Henles' daily lives as scientists. The autobiography also provides an excellent chronology of their scientific research. Unfortunately, the autobiography is limited due to the absence of Gertrude's perspective. In his account of their professional lives, Werner did, however, address the issue of sexism and how it influenced his wife's career.
