Abstract excerpt
Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptors (LILRs) resemble killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) in structure and function and the KIR and LILR gene families form the major part of the leukocyte receptor cluster (LRC) of human chromosome 19q13.4. Unlike KIR, the LILR gene clusters do not vary in gene number. However, some individuals lack expression of LILRA3. This null allele has a 6.7-kb deletion, which...
