Background
Human MHC class I chain-related genes located within the HLA class I region of chromosome 6 encode MHC class I chain-related A and B (MICA and MICB). MICA and MICB are stress-inducible surface molecules that are not associated with β2-microglobulin and do not present peptides. They are expressed in intestinal epithelium and many epithelial tumors. MICA and MICB are ligands for NKG2D which is an activating receptor that is expressed on most natural killer (NK) cells, CD8 αβ T cells, and γδ T cells.
