Abstract excerpt
Recognition of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules on target cells by natural killer (NK) cells inhibits NK cell-mediated lysis. Although it is known that this inhibitory effect is regulated by MHC polymorphism, the precise structural determinants remain undefined. Based on t...
