1 Ethanol-dependent expression of the NKG2D ligands MICA/B in human cell lines and leukocytes. mica killer cell lectin like receptor K1 Homo sapiens
2 We hypothesized that ethanol may influence the expression of MICA and MICB, stress-induced molecules capable of regulating the activity of cytotoxic lymphocytes through the interaction with receptor NKG2D, which substantially affects the functionality of cellular immunity. mica killer cell lectin like receptor K1 Homo sapiens
3 Presumably, changes in MICA/B expression caused by ethanol can affect the functions of NKG2D-positive cytotoxic lymphocytes, modulating immune reactions at excessive alcohol consumption. mica killer cell lectin like receptor K1 Homo sapiens
