Abstract excerpt
KIR2DS2 is an activating homologue of KIR2DL2, an inhibitory killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) that surveys expression of major histocompatibility complex-C allotypes bearing a C1 epitope. We have studied here its allele KIR2DS2*005, which shows a hybrid structure-it is identical to other KIR2DS2 alleles in the ectodomain, but has transmembrane and cytoplasmic regions identical to those of...
