The relevance of natural killer cell human leucocyte antigen epitopes and killer cell immunoglobulin‐like receptors in bone marrow transplantation
7 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
The discovery that killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) interact with genetically polymorphic epitopes on class I human leucocyte antigen (HLA) molecules and that the KIR receptor repertoire itself is genetically variable has led to investigation of the relevance of the KIR system to stem cell transplantation. A number of retrospective studies of transplant outcome have now demonstrated either...
