This antibody recognizes a common extracellular epitope on MICA and MICB glycoproteins, transmembrane ligands of CD314 (NKG2D), and is able to block CD314-mediated activation of NK cells and cytotoxic T cells.
MICA encodes the higly polymorphic MHC (HLA) class I chain-related gene A. The protein product is expressed on the cell surface, although unlike canonical class I molecules does not seem to associate with beta-2-microglobulin. It is thought that MICA functions as a stress-induced antigen that is broadly recognized by intestinal epithelial gamma delta T cells.
