Abstract excerpt
To characterize KIR2DL4 molecular polymorphism, a cloning-sequencing protocol was performed in 49 French and 52 Teke Congolese individuals. These two populations exhibited high levels of genetic diversity for KIR2DL4, possibly under the influence of natural selection. The most frequent alleles in...
