Abstract: Simple SummaryThe immune system provides surveillance measures to identify and remove damaged cell types at an early stage. One important example involves the NKG2D receptor, which is expressed on a range of white blood cells. In humans, NKG2D binds to a family of eight proteins known as NKG2D ligands. NKG2D ligands are generally absent from the surfaces of healthy cells.
