Killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) are encoded by one of the most polymorphic
families in the human genome. KIRs are expressed on natural killer (NK) cells, which have …

The killer-cell Ig-like receptors (KIRs) play a central role in the immune recognition in
infection, pregnancy, and transplantation through their interactions with MHC class I …

NK cells are essential in shaping immune responses and play an important role during
pregnancy and in controlling infections. Killer cell immunoglobulin‐like receptors (KIRs) …

Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes of the innate immune system. In humans, NK cell
activities are partly controlled by the diverse killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) gene …

The killer‐cell immunoglobulin‐like receptors (KIR) form a diverse family of receptors that
control the functions of natural killer cells. Sequencing of KIR from primates has revealed the …

Killer‐cell immunoglobulin‐like receptors (KIR s) are components of two fundamental
biological systems essential for human health and survival. First, they contribute to host …

Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genes are expressed by natural killer cells and
encoded by a family of genes exhibiting considerable haplotypic and allelic variation. HLA-C …

KIR (killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors) and HLA (human leukocyte antigens) are two
distinct gene families with remarkable importance for human immune responses. The …

Certain combinations of the killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) and major
histocompatibility complex class I ligands in humans predispose carriers to a variety of …

MHC class I molecules are ligands for the killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs),
which are expressed by natural killer cells and T cells. The interactions between these …
