Abstract excerpt
Killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) control the function of natural killer cells. The number and type of KIR genes are substantially variable among individuals. Sequence-specific primer-directed polymerase chain reaction (SSP-PCR) based genotyping is the most commonly used method to assess the KIR gene content. However, it requires a minimum of 16 gene-specific amplifications and often yields...
