Abstract excerpt
Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) play crucial roles in regulating NK cell activity. Here, we report a real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) to genotype all KIR genes and their copy numbers simultaneously. With 18 pairs of locus-specific primers, we identified KIR genes by Ct values and determined KIR copy number using the 2-∆Ct method. Haplotypes were assigned based on...
