Natural killer cell receptor and HLA-C gene polymorphisms among patients with hepatitis C: a comparison between sustained virological responders and non-responders
22 Feb 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) are involved in the activation/inhibition of NK cells through an interaction with HLA class I molecules on target cells. Our study aimed to evaluate the association between KIR gene polymorphisms and the response of patients with CHC to antiviral therapy. METHODS: We compared the frequency of KIR genes, as well as that of compound KIR/HLA-C...
