Abstract excerpt
An important feature of natural killer (NK) cell activity is the lysis of cells that have extinguished expression of some or all class I major histocompatibility (MHC) molecules. Accordingly, the Ly49A NK-cell antigen receptor has been shown to deliver an inhibitory signal to NK cells on encounter with Dd or Dk class I MHC on target cells. Ly49A belongs to a family of eight or more highly related, tightly linked...
