Ly49A allelic variation and MHC class I specificity.

Immunogenetics - 1 Sept 2001

Mehta I K, Wang J, Roland J, Margulies D H, Yokoyama W M

Abstract excerpt

The Ly49 family of natural killer (NK) cell receptors is encoded by a polygenic genetic locus. Allelic forms have been described and their expression appears to be regulated. The best-characterized Ly49 molecule, the C57BL/6 form of Ly49A, is an NK cell inhibitory receptor that binds H2Dd. To determine whether differences between Ly49a alleles may have functional consequences, allelic variants of Ly49a were...
