Natural killer (NK) cells are well recognized for their ability to provide a first line of defence
against viral pathogens and they are increasingly being implicated in immune responses …

Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) are expressed on natural killer (NK) cells and
subsets of T cells. The KIR genes are polymorphic and the KIR gene complex is polygenic …

The activating natural killer (NK)-cell receptor KIR3DS1 has been linked to the outcome of
various human diseases, including delayed progression of disease caused by human …

Background Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) infects 90%-95% of all adults globally and causes~
1% of all cancers. Differing proportions of Burkitt's lymphoma (BL), gastric carcinoma (GC) …

Natural killer (NK) cells are innate immune effector cells that make up~ 10-15% of the
peripheral blood lymphocytes in humans and are primarily involved in immunosurveillance …

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is an aggressive malignancy with high
morbidity and mortality. Despite advances in cytotoxic therapies and surgical techniques …

Natural killer (NK) cells are fast-acting and versatile lymphocytes that are critical effectors of
innate immunity, adaptive immunity, and placental development. Controlling NK cell function …

Killer cell immunoglobulin‐like receptors (KIRs) have a central role in the control of natural
killer (NK) cell function. The functions of the activating KIRs, as compared to those of the …

Innate immunity is the first line of the host immune system to fight against infections. Natural
killer cells are the innate immunity lymphocytes responsible for fighting against virus …

Both KIR and HLA are the most variable gene families in the human genome. The
