Abstract excerpt
Killer immunoglobulin (Ig)-like receptors (KIRs) are the major functional natural killer (NK) cell receptors in human. The presence of KIR genes has only recently been demonstrated in other (non-primate) species, and their expression, genomic arrangement, and function in these species have yet to be investigated. In this study, we describe the KIR gene family in cattle. KIR sequences were amplified from cDNA...
