Influence of Activating and Inhibitory Killer Immunoglobulin-Like Receptors (KIR) genes on the recurrence rate of ocular toxoplasmosis in Brazil

2020-09-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Recurrence is a hallmark of ocular toxoplasmosis (OT), and conditions that influence its occurrence remain a challenge. Natural killer cells (NK) are effectors cells whose primary function is the cytotoxic activity against many parasites, including Toxoplasma gondii . Among the NK cell receptors, immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) deserve attention due to their high polymorphism. This study...
