| Research Abstract |
NKG2D ligands are major histocompatibility complex class I-like molecules whose expression is induced by cellular stresses such as transformation and viral infections. They function as danger signals alerting the immune system to the presence of unhealthy, stressed cells. In the present study, we analyzed the structure and function of NKG2D ligands, and their role in pathologic processes, with emphasis on the analysis of H60c, a mouse NKG2D ligand identified in our laboratory.
