Distribution of killer cell Immunoglobulin-like receptor genes in Thai blood donors
Background: Killer cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptors (KIRs) are members of a group of molecules expressed on the surfaces of natural killer (NK) cells and some T cells. KIRs recognize MHC class I molecules on target cells. The interaction of these molecules regulates NK cell reactivity. The KIR gen...
