Amazonian Amerindians exhibit high variability of KIR profiles.

Immunogenetics - 1 Aug 2007

Ewerton Paloma Daguer, Leite Mauro de Meira, Magalhães Milena, Sena Leonardo, Melo dos Santos Eduardo José

Abstract excerpt

Natural killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) mediate cell lysis through the recognition of human leukocyte antigen class I complexes in target cells, playing an important role in innate immune response. In this context, disease-based selective pressures could be relevant, leaving signatures detected by population studies. However, most population studies on KIR variability have focused on Europe and...
