Abstract excerpt
A complex system regulating HLA-C expression in NK cells, driven by an NK-specific promoter that produces alternatively spliced variants of the 5'-UTR has been recently identified. Exon content of the NK-specific 5'-UTR varies strikingly across HLA-C alleles, with some exons being allele specific. In order to investigate the possibility that allelic variation in the 5'-UTR modulates HLA-C expression levels, cDNAs...
