Abstract

Helping NK cells find their way: MICA and MICB proteins can be expressed on tumors and act as “kill me” signals to the immune system. But tumors often disguise themselves by shedding these proteins, which prevents specialized natural killer (NK) cells from recognizing and destroying the cancer. Ferrari de Andrade et al. engineered antibodies directed against the site responsible for the proteolytic shedding of MICA and MICB (see the Perspective by Cerwenka and Lanier). The approach effectively locked MICA and MICB onto tumors so that NK cells could spot them for elimination. The antibodies exhibited preclinical efficacy in multiple tumor models, including humanized melanoma. Furthermore, the strategy reduced lung cancer metastasis after NK cell–mediated tumor lysis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
