Abstract excerpt
Natural killer cell stimulatory receptor gene, KIR2DS5, is polymorphic. While KIR2DS5*002 is most frequently observed, other alleles have also been found. The proteins encoded by these alleles (KIR2DS5*002-*009) are expressed at varying levels on the surface of NKL and Jurkat transfectants. Gel electrophoresis of all allelic products showed two isoforms which differ in the extent of maturation of N-linked...
