Thirty years ago, in November 1992, Ishida, Honjo and their collaborators reported the discovery of the #PD1 gene in @embojournal
https://www.embopress.org/doi/abs/10.1002/j.1460-2075.1992.tb05481.x
I spoke with Tasuku Honjo, Pierre Golstein (whose team first cloned #CTLA4) & Facundo Batista about the discovery earlier this year.
