Abstract excerpt
Mouse NK lymphocytes express Ly-49 receptors, which inhibit cytotoxicity upon ligation by specific MHC I molecules on targets. Different members of the lectin-like mouse Ly-49 receptor family recognize distinct subsets of murine H-2 molecules, but the molecular basis for the allelic specificity of Ly-49 has not been defined. We analyzed inhibition of natural killing by chimeric MHC I molecules in which the...
