Polymorphisms of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor gene: possible association with susceptibility to or clearance of hepatitis B virus infection in Chinese Han population.

Abstract excerpt

AIM: To explore whether killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) gene polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to persistent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection or HBV clearance. METHODS: Fifteen known KIR genes were determined in 150 chronic hepatitis B patients, 251 spontaneously recovered controls, and 412 healthy controls by the sequence specific primer polymerase chain reaction (SSP-PCR) method....
