Abstract excerpt

Major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related gene A (MICA) was identified within the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I region and was located 46 kb centromeric from HLA-B locus. It functions as a ligand for human gammadelta T, CD8 T and natural killer (NK) cells by binding the NKG2D receptor. The aims of the present study were to determine the distribution of MICA alleles and MICA-HLA-B haplotypes...
