Abstract excerpt

Natural killer cells are important in innate defense against viral infections. The interplay between stimulatory and inhibitory natural killer cell receptors and their corresponding human leukocyte antigen ligands are known to influence the outcome of acute Hepatitis C virus infection. Frequencies of NK receptor genes (8 inhibitory, 6 activating and 2 pseudogenes) and HLA class II alleles (DRB1, DQB1) were...
