The specific interaction between the α/β T cell receptor (TCR) and a peptide-bound major
histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule triggers the adaptive immune response …

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I chain related (MIC) molecules show
homology with classical human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules, but they do not combine …

Following the decision to hold their next full meeting after the 14th International
Histocompatibility Workshop in 2005, the WHO Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the …

Even when kidney allografts are well matched for human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and anti-
HLA antibodies are not detected, graft rejection can still occur. There is evidence that some …

The highly polymorphic nonclassical MHC class I chain‐related (MIC) genes MICA and
MICB encode stress inducible glycoproteins expressed on a variety of epithelial cells …

The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class I chain related (MIC) A and B genes are
important additional loci within the MHC. We have developed a MICA and MICB ty** …

The expression of MICB, a member of the major histocompatibility complex class I chain-
related gene B family, is induced in response to cellular stress. It is one of the ligands to the …

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I chain-related genes, MICA and MICB, are
located centromeric to human leukocyte antigen B (HLA-B) on chromosome 6. In response …

The present study is a contribution to the definition of the linkage disequilibrium relationship
of MICA and MICB with adjacent loci and to the characterization of extended HLA …

We describe the finding of an Alu repeat dimorphism within the first intron of the MICB gene.
The frequencies of the two AluyMICB alleles, AluyMICB* 0 (absence of insertion) and …
