Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Natural killer (NK) cell function is regulated by inhibitory and activating receptors including killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs). Here, we analyzed the impact of different KIR/KIR-ligand genotypes on the outcome of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in people who inject drugs (PWID). METHODS: KIR/KIR-ligand genotypes associated with spontaneous clearance of HCV infection were...
