Background: MICB

MIC-B (MHC class I chain-related gene B) is a single-pass type I member protein. It is widely expressed in many, but not all, epithelial tumors of lung, breast, kidney, ovary, prostate and colon. In addition to this, it is produced by hepatocellular carcinomas, which is only in tumor cells but not in surrounding non-cancerous tissue and can be induced by bacterial and viral infections. MIC-B shares 85 % amino acid identity with MIC-A and they are distantly related to the MHC class I proteins. Because they possess three extracellular Ig-like domains, but unlike classical MHC class I molecules, they do not form a heterodimer with beta2 microglobulin, but bind as a monomer to a KLRK1/NKG2D that is an activating receptor expressed on NK cells, NKT cells, gammadelta T cells, and CD8+ alphabeta T cells. Recognition of MIC-B by NKG2D results in the activation of cytolytic activity and/or cytokine production by these effector cells. MIC-B recognition plays an important role in tumor surveillance, viral infections, and autoimmune diseases.

Product Specific Notices for Recombinant Human MICB Protein

This lyophilized preparation is stable for 12 months from date of receipt at -20 to -70 degrees C, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation can be stored for 1 month at 2-8 degrees C under sterile conditions, and for 3 months at -20 degrees C to -70 degrees C. Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Stock solutions should be aliquoted and stored at < -20 degrees C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. This product is guaranteed for 1 year from date of receipt.
