| Description | NKG2D is an activating receptor for triggering the NK cell cytotoxic activity [ ]. It binds to a variety of cell surface glycoproteins distantly related to MHC class I molecules, termed NKG2D ligands (NKG2DL). The expression of a certain ligand or a particular allelic variant is essential to drive a proper immune response []. The NKG2D/NKG2DL axis has been shown to be the potential therapeutic candidate for anticancer immunotherapy [, ]. |
