Expression of Activating KIR2DS2 and KIR2DS4 Genes after Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation: Relevance to Cytomegalovirus Infection
30 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
The important role of activating killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) in protecting against cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation has been described previously in patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). More specifically, the presence of multiple activating KIRs and the presence of at least KIR2DS2 and KIR2DS4 in the donor genotype identified a group of HCT patients at low risk for CMV...
