The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Together with Jules A. Hoffmann, he received one-half of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, for "discoveries concerning the activation of innate immunity." Beutler discovered the long-elusive receptor for lipopolysaccharide.
- He did so by identifying spontaneous mutations in the gene coding for mouse Toll-like receptor 4 in two unrelated strains of LPS-refractory mice and proving they were responsible for that phenotype.
- Subsequently, and chiefly through the work of Shizuo Akira, other TLRs were shown to detect signature molecules of most infectious microbes, in each case triggering an innate immune response.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Bruce Beutler article was read about 8,500 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 87 and blocks with 80: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
