Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genes in leprosy immunopathogenesis. Genotyping of KIR and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes was performed by polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes in 165 leprosy patients. Both activating KIR2DS2 and KIR2DS3 frequencies were higher in tuberculoid leprosy (TT) patients than in...
