Abstract

Grail is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that inhibits T-cell receptor signalling in CD4+ T cells. Here the authors show Grail also limits IL-21 receptor expression and function in CD8+ T cells, is overactive in these cells in patients with lymphoma, and promotes tumour development in a lymphoma transplant mouse model.
