Quantification of Rae-1 Staining Intensity in Glomeruli
NKG2D is expressed on all NK cells and on subsets of NKT, CD8, CD4 and γδ T cells. NKG2D is activated by NKG2D ligands, a stress-induced family of MHC-I-like proteins.

Staging concept for aging management: Definition, mechanism, and coping strategies
We divided the overall aging stage into “pre‐aging”, “aging compensation”, and “aging disability”. For each stage, we delineate the clinical presentations, biological phenomena, theoretical underpinnings, and key management priorities. Abstract Aging, as a gradual and largely irreversible biological process, characterized by declining organismal ...

Combinatorial therapy with resveratrol sensitizes glioblastoma to NKG2D CAR-T cells
Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies have shown potential in clinical trials for glioblastoma, yet treatment responses vary due to heterogeneous antigen expression and post-treatment immune escape.

ABSTRACT Adult T‐cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is an aggressive hematological malignancy with a poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. ATL cells exhibit aberrant surface glycosylation patterns resulting from dysregulated glycosyltransferase expression, representing a potentially tumor‐specific therapeutic target.

Mechanisms of NKG2D ligand regulation
Background: The NKG2D ligands are a set of cell surface proteins, the expression of which can make cells susceptible to immunity mediated by NKG2D receptor expressing cells, which include NK cells, CD8+ αβ T cells and γδ T cells. The NKG2D ligands are known to be expressed in distinct settings, including viral infection, cancer, T cell activation, and ...

Ligands for the NKG2D receptor are overexpressed on tumors, making them interesting immunotherapy targets. To assess the tumoricidal properties of T cells directed to attack NKG2D ligands, we engineered murine T cells with two distinct NKG2D-based ...

Our study describes how the effector maturation of intrathymic iNKT and MAIT cells is guided by distinct hematopoietic APCs: DC1s for iNKT cells and macrophages for MAIT cells. ABSTRACT The development of unconventional αβ T cells, including invariant natural killer T (iNKT) and mucosal‐associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, in the thymus is distinct ...

The Role of Natural Killer (NK) Cells in Dengue Virus Infection: A Narrative Review
ABSTRACT Background and Aims In the innate immune response, natural Killer (NK) cells have a significant role in protection against viral infections, including the Dengue virus (DENV). NK cells identify and eliminate virus‐infected cells through diverse mechanisms, such as cytokine production, cytolytic activity, and antibody‐dependent cellular ...

Preclinical characterization of Pan-NKG2D ligand-binding NKG2D receptor decoys
NKG2D and its ligands are critical regulators of protective immune responses controlling infections and cancer, defining a crucial immune signaling axis. Current therapeutic efforts targeting this axis almost exclusively aim at enhancing NKG2D-mediated effector functions.

NKG2D Receptor and Its Ligands in Host Defense [PDF]
Abstract NKG2D is an activating receptor expressed on the surface of natural killer (NK) cells, CD8+ T cells, and subsets of CD4+ T cells, invariant NKT cells (iNKT), and γδ T cells. In humans, NKG2D transmits signals by its association with the DAP10 adapter subunit, and in mice alternatively spliced isoforms transmit signals either ...
