Revealing Complete Complex <i>KIR</i> Haplotypes Phased by Long-read Sequencing Technology
2017-05-08
Abstract excerpt
The killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor ( KIR ) region of human chromosome 19 contains up to sixteen genes for natural killer (NK) cell receptors that recognize human leukocyte antigen ( HLA )/peptide complexes and other ligands. The KIR proteins fulfill functional roles in infections, pregnancy, autoimmune diseases, and transplantation. However, their characterization remains a constant challenge. Not onl...
