• Regulation of ligands for the NKG2D activating receptor (2013, background): “Initially, soluble MICA was detected in the sera of patients with lung, breast, and gastrointestinal malignancies (107, 108), and cell-free forms of MICA and MICB were subsequently detected in patients with a variety of cancers (109–115).”
• NK cells and cancer immunosurveillance (2008, background): “Another rationale comes from the observation that tumour cells release NKG2DL in a soluble form (Groh et al., 2002; Salih et al., 2002).”
