2021-03-22
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> The major histocompatibility complex class I polypeptide-related sequence A gene (MICA) is one of the ligands of NKG2D activating receptor. MICA stimulates NKG2D that further triggers activation of natural killer cells which leads to killing of infected target cells. Tumor cells utilize escape strategies to subvert the biological function of NKG2D by shedding overexpressing MICA. In this stud...
