Killer immunoglobulin-like receptor genes in uveitis.

Ocular immunology and inflammation - 1 Jun 2011

Levinson Ralph D

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: to review the function and genetics of killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) and studies of KIR genetic associations with uveitis. METHODS: Review of published studies. RESULTS: KIRs are receptors on NK and some T cells. They may inhibit or activate cellular function, such as cytotoxicity and cytokine production. Studies have been published examining KIR gene associations with birdshot...
