Detection of MICA by Flow Cytometry

Expression of the Sudan virus (SUDV)- or Makona-GP results in loss of surface staining of alpha MICA in HEK293T cells and JEG3 cells stably transfected with MICA. The figure shows representative flow cytometry analysis for steric shielding of the MICA antigen by SUDV-GP or Makona-GP. (A) HEK293T cells were transfected, harvested, and stained for SUDV-GP with a biotinylated 3C10 antibody, followed by allophycocyanin (APC)-conjugated streptavidin, and co-stained for MICA surface antigens with phycoerythrin (PE)-conjugated alpha MICA antibody. Results are from one representative experiment of more than 10 performed (B) HEK293T cells were transfected, harvested, and stained for Makona-GP with survivor sera, followed by APC-labeled secondary antibody, and co-stained for MICA surface antigen using PE-conjugated alpha MICA antibody. Results are from one representative experiment of two performed. (C) SUDV-GP-transfected JEG3-MICA cells stained for SUDV-GP and co-stained for MICA surface antigens and NKG2D-Ig ligands. Results are from one representative experiment of more than four performed. (D–F) HEK293T cells were transfected with SUDV-GP or SUDV-GP-GFP, harvested shortly after they were treated with trypsin or left untreated, and finally stained for: (D) HLA-A, B, C, and SUDV-GP, (E) MICA and SUDV-GP, and (F) B7H6. Results are from one representative experiment of more than four performed.

Background: MICA

MICA (MHC class I chain-related gene A) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that functions as a ligand for human NKG2D. A closely related protein, MICB, shares 85% amino acid identity with MICA. These proteins are distantly related to the MHC class I proteins. They possess three extracellular Ig-like domains, but they have no capacity to bind peptide or interact with beta 2-microglobulin. The genes encoding these proteins are found within the Major Histocompatibility Complex on human chromosome 6. The MICA locus is highly polymorphic with more than 50 recognized human alleles. MICA is absent from most cells but is frequently expressed in epithelial tumors and can be induced by bacterial and viral infections. MICA is a ligand for human NKG2D, an activating receptor expressed on NK cells, NKT cells, gamma delta T cells, and CD8+ alpha beta T cells. Recognition of MICA by NKG2D results in the activation of cytolytic activity and/or cytokine production by these effector cells. MICA recognition is involved in tumor surveillance, viral infections, and autoimmune diseases.
