## Abstract NKG2D operates as an activating receptor on natural killer (NK) cells and costimulates the effector function of αβ CD8^+^ T cells. Ligands of NKG2D, the MHC class I chain‐related (MIC) and UL16 binding protein (ULBP) molecules, are expressed on a variety of human tumors, including melan

## Abstract The natural killer (NK) cells play an important role in viral infections via their spontaneous cytolytic activity against virus‐infected cells as well as via secreting a variety of soluble mediators. The MHC class I‐binding NK receptors of these cells have emerged as the most important

Mice lacking beta2-microglobulin (beta2m- mice) express greatly reduced levels of MHC class I molecules, and cells from beta2m- mice are therefore highly sensitive to NK cells. However, NK cells from beta2m- mice fail to kill beta2m- normal cells, showing that they are self tolerant. In a first atte
