Serendipities of Acquired Immunity
From the event description:
This is a lecture by Dr. Tasuku Honjo. In 1992, Dr. Honjo discovered a protein on immune cells called PD-1 and revealed that it operates as a brake, preventing the immune system from perceiving its own body as a threat — which is called an autoimmune response. But it also holds the body back from fighting cancer as hard as it can. Last year, Dr. Honjo shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for this breakthrough work.
When: Tuesday, Sept. 17, 6:30-7:45 p.m.
Where: National Academy of Sciences, 2101 Constitution Ave., NW
