Abstract excerpt
Immunogenetic association studies may give rise to new hypotheses on the immune surveillance of cancer. We hypothesized that certain combinations of killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) and HLA genotypes may enhance natural killer (NK) cell immunity against nascent acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and, thereby, lead to a skewed genotype distribution among patients. For this purpose, we analyzed KIR and HLA...
