Abstract excerpt
To elucidate the association between killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) and psoriasis vulgaris (PV), we typed 14 KIR genes in 96 Japanese cases and 50 healthy controls using PCR with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP). Here we report an interesting association between certain KIRs and Japanese cases with PV. The frequencies of KIR2DS1 and KIR2DL5 were significantly increased in PV cases compared...
