BCR/ABL Oncogene Directly Controls MHC Class I Chain-Related Molecule A Expression in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
1 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
MHC class I chain-related molecules (MIC) participate in immune surveillance of cancer through engagement of the NKG2D-activating receptor on NK and T cells. Decreased NKG2D expression and function upon chronic exposure to NKG2D ligands and/or soluble forms of MIC (sMIC) may participate in immune escape. In chronic myeloid leukemia, a malignancy caused by the BCR/ABL fusion oncoprotein, we showed cell surface...
