Next to G. Kölher developed a technique for creating antibodies with identical chemical structure, which he called monoclonal antibodies. In 1983, Milstein was appointed head and director of the Division of Chemistry, Proteins and Nucleic Acids from Cambridge University. For his work on the development of monoclonal antibodies he received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1984. Despite the fact that it would have made it enormously wealthy, Milstein did not record any patent for its award-winning discovery, for he thought that it was intellectual property of humanity and as such bequeathed.
