摘要
Natural killer cells attack tumor cells, infected cells and some normal cells, but the basis of their specificity is not completely understood. Recent studies indicate that epithelial tumor cells upregulate a stress-induced MHC class-I-like protein termed MICA, triggering NK cells via a recently described receptor called NKG2D.
