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 …

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 …

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

Abstract Analysis of receptor–ligand interactions in the context of diseases necessitates to
understand how HLA–KIR genotypes function in diseases. Although CD56+ lymphocytes …

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 play a role in defence against viral infections by killing infected cells
or by producing cytokines and interacting with adaptive immune cells. Killer immunoglobulin …

Killer cell immunoglobulin like receptors (KIRs) have a principal role in regulating the
effector functions of NK cells, particularly in viral infections. The major ligands for KIRs are …

Background: Interaction between killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) and human
leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules is important for regulation of natural killer (NK) …

Killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) are essential for acquiring natural killer (NK)
cell effector function, which is modulated by a balance between the net input of signals …
