Abstract excerpt
The inhibitory KIR3DL1 and the activating KIR3DS1 segregate as alleles of the same locus. KIR3DL1 is highly diversified at the allele level and KIR3DL1 alleles exhibit varied levels of expression and ligand binding affinity resulting in varied degrees of NK cell inhibition. Previous studies have shown that the KIR3DL1/3DS1 polymorphism associated with viral infection, cancer and transplantation. However, little...
