The activation of NKG2D on innate and adaptive cytotoxic lymphocytes contributes to immune-mediated tumor destruction. Nonetheless, tumor cell shedding of NKG2D ligands, such as MHC class I chain-related protein A (MICA), results in immune suppression through down-regulation of NKG2D surface expression. Here we show that some patients who respond t...
