Killer cell immunoglobulin‐like receptor (KIR) and human leucocyte antigen (HLA) play
crucial role in maintaining immune homoeostasis and controlling immune responses. To …

Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) are involved in the pathogenesis of a variety
of diseases. However, whether KIR polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to …

Background Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) are expressed on natural killer
(NK) cells and T cells and organized in highly polymorphic families. Genetic diversity is an …

We investigate the role of killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genes and human
leukocyte antigen class-I (HLA) variants in susceptibility to tuberculosis in a South African …

Natural killer (NK) cells have distinctive functional capacities that are likely to contribute both
to innate and adaptive immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Killer cell immunoglobulin …

NK cells are vital components of innate immune system and are the first cells which come
into picture mediating resistance against intracellular pathogens. NK cell cytotoxicity is …

A total of 103 Lebanese tuberculosis (TB) cases and 38 controls without TB were studied for
the killer cell i mmunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) genotypic profile using polymerase chain …

Although both differential susceptibility to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and disease
pathogenesis depend on a multitude of factors, elucidation of specific host genetic markers …

Several studies have evaluated the association between killer-cell immunoglobulin-like
receptors (KIR) genes and susceptibility risk to tuberculosis (TB) infection. Nonetheless, their …

Background: Natural killer (NK) cells are the effector cells of innate immunity that respond to
infection and tumor. Interactions between killer cell immunoglobulin like receptors (KIR) and …
