Abstract excerpt
NK cells and some T cells express members of a multigenic family of killer cell inhibitory receptors (KIRs) including p70 KIR (KIR3DL) and p58 KIR (KIR2DL) family that recognize polymorphic class I MHC molecules on target cells and transmit an inhibitory signal to prevent killer cell-mediated cytoxicity. The cDNA sequences of p70 KIR family members reported so far suggest that the p70 KIR gene consists of a...
