Immunogenetic studies of species and of species hybrids in doves, and the separation of species-specific substances in the backcross.

Irwin coined the term, “immunogenetics” to describe the union of immunology with genetics. He attempted to determine the genetic control of antigenicity through genetic cross matings.
