Abstract
This year's Lasker∼DeBakey Clinical Research Award goes to James Allison for discovering that antibody blockade of the T cell molecule CTLA-4 unleashes the body's immune response against malignant tumors. This has led to development of multiple "immune checkpoint therapies" that are prolonging and saving the lives of thousands of cancer patients.Entities:
