The human cytomegalovirus protein UL147A downregulates the most prevalent MICA allele: MICA*008, to evade NK cell-mediated killing
2020-07-17
Abstract excerpt
Natural killer (NK) cells are innate immune lymphocytes capable of killing target cells without prior sensitization. NK cell activity is regulated by signals received from activating and inhibitory receptors. One pivotal activating NK receptor is NKG2D, which binds a family of eight ligands, including the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-related chain A (MICA). Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiqu...
