Human MHC class I chain related (MIC) genes: their biological function and relevance to disease and transplantation.

European journal of immunogenetics : official journal of the British Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics - 1 Jun 2004

Collins R W M

Abstract excerpt

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I chain related (MIC) molecules show homology with classical human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules, but they do not combine with beta2 microglobulin, do not bind peptide and are not expressed on normal circulating lymphocytes. In response to stress, MIC proteins are expressed on the cell surface of freshly isolated gastric epithelium, endothelial cells and...
