Abstract excerpt
The class I MHC-specific receptors expressed by murine NK cells exhibit remarkable variation. Specific activating killer Ig-related receptor/Ly49 have major effects on autoimmune and infectious disease induction and outcome in humans and mice. However, these studies are greatly affected by individual background genetics. Furthermore, the educational impact of variable inhibitory KIR/Ly49 gene numbers on NK cell...
