Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the consequence of sequence variations in HLA-C03:04-presented HIV-1 p24 Gag epitopes on binding of the inhibitory natural killer (NK) cell receptor KIR2DL2 to HLA-C03:04. DESIGN: HIV-1 may possibly evade recognition by KIR+ NK cells through selection of sequence variants that interfere with the interactions of inhibitory killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors...
