High KIR diversity in Uganda and Botswana children living with HIV

2024-12-07

Abstract excerpt

Killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors ( KIR s) are essential components of the innate immune system found on the surfaces of natural killer (NK) cells. The KIR s encoding genes are located on chromosome 19q13.4 and are genetically diverse across populations. KIR s are associated with various disease states including HIV progression, and are linked to transplantation rejection and reproductive success. Howev...
