Role of natural killer cells and killer immunoglobulin-like receptor polymorphisms: association of HLA and KIRs.

Methods in molecular medicine - 1 Jan 2007

Dorak M Tevfik

Abstract excerpt

Natural killer cells play an important role in innate immunity. They act against infected and transformed cells as part of the immune surveillance process. Their interactions with the human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) create a situation where they may act against donor hematopoietic cells following stem cell transplantation. Both killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) and HLA types of donor and recipient are...
