Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor diversity: balancing signals in the natural killer cell response.

Immunology letters - 29 Mar 2004

Parham Peter

Abstract excerpt

Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) are a family of inhibitory and activating receptors that are expressed by most natural killer (NK) cells and by small subpopulations of T cells. In humans the KIR genes form part of the leukocyte receptor complex (LRC) on chromosome 19. Within an individual NK cell clones are distinguished by the combinations of KIR genes they express, patterns which are established...
