2018 Nobel Prize Laureates in Physiology or Medicine: James Allison and Tasuku Honjo

The 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to James Allison and Tasuku Honjo “for their discovery of cancer therapy by inhibition of negative immune regulation”. However, this year two more immunologists — J.Smith and G.Winter — also became the Nobel Laureates. They received the Award in the “Chemistry” nomination for discovering new approaches to creating proteins with desired properties, including therapeutic antibodies.
