Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The function of the MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence A (MICA) gene, which belongs to the MHC class I chain-related genes, is to trigger cytolysis of target cells mediated by NKG2D receptor recognition in NK (Natural Killer) cells and CD8 T-lymphocytes. The MICA gene has a high degree of polymorphism, especially observed in exons 2-5. MICA allelic diversity has been reported in association with...
