IL15 — MICA
Text-mined interactions from Literome
Koning et al., Springer Semin Immunopathol 2005
(Celiac Disease...) :
Simultaneously, gluten exposure leads to increased production of
IL15 , which
induces the expression of NKG2D on intraepithelial lymphocytes and its ligand
MICA on epithelial cells, leading to epithelial cell destruction
Molinero et al., Hum Immunol 2006
:
Here, we show that IL-2, IL-4, and
IL-15 but not TNF-alpha or IFN-alpha
induced MICA expression in T lymphocytes present in peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( PBMCs ), as assessed by Western blot
Zhang et al., Cytokine 2008
:
NKG2D or
MICA blockade
attenuated the up-regulation of
IL-15 on NK cytolysis, demonstrating that the up-regulatory effect of IL-15 on NK cytolysis is at least partly dependent of the interaction of NKG2D and MICA
