Natural killer (NK) cells are critical effectors of antiviral immunity. Researchers have
therefore sought to characterize the NK cell response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID …

The genetic factors associated with susceptibility or resistance to viral infections are likely to
involve a sophisticated array of immune response. These genetic elements may modulate …

Viral and host factors are known to play a role in the different patterns of AIDS progression.
The cocirculation of HIV-1 subtypes B, F1, BBR, and BF1; the occasional detection of HIV-1 …

Abstract Killer-cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptor (KIR) and Human Leukocyte Antigen
(HLA) genotypes vary considerably between individuals and populations due to KIR/HLA …

Objective: To investigate the role of genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of killer cell
immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) and their human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class-1 …

Background: Class I human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules contribute to HIV control
through antigen presentation to both cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells …

Host response to the human immune deficiency virus (HIV) involves both the innate and
adaptive immune systems. As part of the innate immune system, the killer cell …

Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) mediate natural killer cell function through
interaction with their cognate human leukocyte antigen ligands. Thus, KIR gene variants …

Background Genetic involvement of Killer Immunoglobulin-like Receptor (KIR)
polymorphisms and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-exposed seronegative (HESN) …

Genetic studies on the association of the killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genes
with HIV-1 infection and disease progression have been widely carried out with somewhat …
