Tasuku Honjo, "for their discovery of cancer therapy by inhibition of negative immune regulation." Among his most notable discoveries are the determination of the T-cell receptor structure and that CD28 is the major costimulatory molecule that allows full activation of naive T-cells and prevents anergy in T-cell clones.

Grail is a type I transmembrane protein localized in the transferrin-recycling endocytic pathway, and it plays a crucial role on the induction of anergy by abrogating the expression of cytokines in T cells.[1] A recent study has shown that Grail forms a ternary complex with Otub-1 and USP8, which regulates T cell anergy.[2],[3] Recently, a number of proteins were identified to be associated with Grail.

To control these self-reactive T cells, several peripheral mechanisms have reported to limit autoimmunity, namely, clone anergy, peripheral deletion, and Tregs.[50],[51] According to the research, Tregs are supposed to participate in the inactivation of autoreactive cells and are the cornerstone component for maintaining peripheral self-tolerance.[52]
