Heightened expression of MICA enhances the cytotoxicity of NK cells or CD8(+)T cells to human corneal epithelium in vitro
BACKGROUND: Major-histocompatibility-complex class I-related chain A (MICA) antigens are the ligands of NKG2D, which is an activating or coactivating receptor expressed on human NK cells and CD8(+)T cells. We sought to determine whether MICA expression in human corneal epithelium (HCE) could affect...
