Abstract excerpt
DX9 mAb-binding killer cell-inhibitory receptors (KIR) recognize HLA-B molecules that express the Bw4 public serologic epitope. We assessed DX9+ NK cell fine specificity recognition of HLA-B7 variants and HLA-B27 alleles by 51Cr release natural cytotoxicity assays and by flow cytometry and enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) IFN-gamma synthesis and release assays. 721.221 target cell expression of Bw4+ HLA-B27...
