The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2011 was divided, one half jointly to
Bruce A. Beutler and Jules A. Hoffmann "for their discoveries concerning the
activation of innate immunity" and the other half to Ralph M. Steinman
"for his discovery of the dendritic cell and its role in adaptive immunity".
