Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The major histocompatibility complex class I related A (MICA) and MICB molecules are ligands of NKG2D receptors on natural killer cells, gamma/delta T cells, and CD8ass T cells that mediate host antitumor immune response. The role of MICA-TM and MICB C1_2_A alleles in patients with colorectal cancer has not yet been investigated. METHODS: We have analyzed the MICA-TM and MICB C1_2_A polymorphisms in...
