Western blot - Anti-MICA + MICB antibody [EPR22031] (AB224702)
Western blot : Anti-MICA antibody [EPR22031] (ab224702) staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-CANX [CANX/1543] (ab238078) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. In Western blot, ab224702 was shown to bind specifically to MICA. A band was observed at 43 kDa in wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in MICA knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and MICA knockout A549 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

Biological function summary
MICA and MICB act in the activation of the immune system by modulating NK cells and CD8+ T cell activities. These proteins do not form part of a complex but operate independently to signal the presence of infected or transformed cells to the immune system. They often appear on the cell surface under stress such as during viral infections or cancerous transformations activating immune cells to target and destroy these abnormal cells.
Pathways
The MICA/MICB interaction with NKG2D is integral to the immune checkpoint pathway. This pathway plays a significant role in regulating the immune system's response to aberrant cells. Additionally MICA and MICB activity is linked to the regulation of the cytokine IFN-γ promoting the recruitment and activation of immune effector cells. The roles of these proteins in these pathways underline their importance in maintaining immune homeostasis and responding to pathological challenges.
