Downregulation and/or Release of NKG2D Ligands as Immune Evasion Strategy of Human Neuroblastoma

Downregulation and/or Release of NKG2D Ligands as Immune Evasion Strategy of Human Neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma (NB) is a pediatric extracranial tumor characterized by downregulation of human leukocyte antigen class I and defects of the antigen processing machinery, two features that make it an appropriate target for natural killer (NK)-mediated lysis. NKG2D is an activating immunoreceptor expr...
