Abstract excerpt
Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genes constitute a multigene family whose genomic diversity is achieved through variation in gene content and allelic polymorphism within individual KIR genes. To date, 16 KIR genes and pseudogenes have been identified, and group A and group B haplotypes are characterized by a dominance of genes encoding inhibitory and activating receptors, respectively. In the...
