Understanding the heterogeneity of alloreactive natural killer cell function in kidney transplantation
2023-09-05
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Human Natural Killer (NK) cells are heterogeneous lymphocytes regulated by variegated arrays of germline-encoded activating and inhibitory receptors. They acquire the ability to detect polymorphic self-antigen via NKG2A/HLA-E or KIR/HLA-I ligand interactions through an education process. Correlations among HLA/KIR genes, kidney transplantation pathology and outcomes suggest that NK cells partici...
