The evolution of the natural killer complex; a comparison between mammals using new high-quality genome assemblies and targeted annotation

2016-08-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Natural killer (NK) cells are a diverse population of lymphocytes with a range of biological roles including essential immune functions. NK cell diversity is created by the differential expression of cell surface receptors which modulate activation and function, including multiple subfamilies of C-type lectin receptors encoded within the NK gene complex (NKC). Little is known about the gene cont...
