Intensity of HLA class I expression and KIR‐mismatch determine NK‐cell mediated lysis of leukaemic blasts from children with acute lymphatic leukaemia
6 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
The impact of human leucocyte antigen (HLA) class I expression intensity and killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR)-mismatch was investigated on natural killer (NK)-cell mediated lysis of B-lineage leukaemic blasts from 21 paediatric patients in vitro. Blast susceptibility to standardised NK-activity and HLA-expression differed widely. A clear association between HLA-molecules/cell (range 442 000-13 000)...
