Abstract excerpt
Natural killer cells are able to recognize and kill target cells according to differences in MHC class I expression. In rodents, the Ly49 receptors are primarily responsible for this MHC differentiation. We previously described the cloning of a novel C-type lectin-like receptor, KLRH1, encoded in the NK complex adjacent to the Ly49 genes and expressed by subsets of NK and NKT cells. MHC influence on selection of...
