    Complex structure of the activating immunoreceptor NKG2D and its MHC class I–like ligand MICA

    The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I homolog, MICA, is a stress-inducible ligand for NKG2D, a C-type lectin–like activating immunoreceptor. The crystal structure of this ligand-receptor complex t...

    Interactions of human NKG2D with its ligands MICA, MICB, and homologs of the mouse RAE-1 protein family

    NKG2D is an activating receptor that is expressed on most natural killer (NK) cells, CD8 αβ T cells, and γδ T cells. Among its ligands is the distant major histocompatibility complex class I homolog MICA, whi...
