Abstract excerpt
Receptors of the Ly-49 multigene family regulate rodent NK cell functions. Ly-49Rs are highly polymorphic and exist in either activating or inhibitory forms. Examples of both Ly-49 receptor types have been shown to recognize class I MHC ligands. Ly-49Rs can distinguish between class I alleles, but the molecular basis of this discrimination is unknown. Two activating receptors, Ly-49P and Ly-49W, differ in class I...
