Abstract excerpt
P50/KIR2DS molecules represent the activating form of the HLA-C-specific inhibitory NK receptors. They are characterized, in the transmembrane portion, by a charged amino acid that is involved in coupling with signal-transducing adaptor polypeptides. In this study we identified a novel p50.2/KIR2DS2 surface molecule, isolated from NK cell clones derived from an otherwise normal donor, that was unable to transduce...
