Diversity of the KIR gene cluster in an urban Brazilian population.

Immunogenetics - 1 Feb 2012

Abstract excerpt

The activity of natural killer cells depends on the balance between activating and inhibitory signals coming from their receptors. Among these are the killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) that recognize specific HLA class I allotypes. Here we characterized KIR genetic diversity and their HLA ligands in the population of Curitiba, Paraná State (n = 164), and compared it with other worldwide populations....
