The killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) for human leukocyte antigen (HLA)
modulate innate and adaptive immunity by controlling effector cells. HLA and KIR are …

Interactions of killer cell immunoglobin-like receptors (KIR) with human leukocyte antigens
(HLA) class I regulate effector functions of key cytotoxic cells of innate and adaptive …

Killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) are molecules expressed on the surface of
natural killer (NK) cells, which play an important role in innate immunity. KIR recognition of …

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 …

Leukocyte behavior is controlled by a balance of inhibitory and stimulatory signals
generated on ligand binding to a complex set of receptors located on the cell surface. The …

The killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) are a recently discovered family of
activating and inhibitory receptors that control natural killer (NK) cell function. KIR exist as a …

Stimulation or tolerance of natural killer (NK) cells is achieved through a cross‐talk of signals
derived from cell surface activating and inhibitory receptors. Killer cell immunoglobulin‐like …

Natural killer (NK) cells are more than simple killers and have been implicated in control and
clearance of malignant and virally infected cells, regulation of adaptive immune responses …

Genetic studies associate killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) and their HLA
class I ligands with a variety of human diseases. The basis for these associations and the …

Natural killer (NK) cells are a subset of lymphocytes which play a crucial role in early innate
immune response against infection and tumor transformation. Furthermore, they secrete …
