Due to immunological monitoring, most of aggressive tumor cells are selected capable of producing soluble factors of immunosuppression in their microenvironment. A ligand for NK- and T-cells receptor (MICA/B) activation is one of them. We investigated MICA concentrations in serum of 10 healthy volunteers and 114 patients with solid tumors (breast cancer - 24, gastrointestinal tumors - 27, renal cell carcinoma - 15, lung cancer - 9, ovarian carcinoma - 13, cutaneous melanoma - 18, primary multiple tumors - 2, prostate cancer - 6).
