Extensive variation in gene copy number at the killer immunoglobulin-like receptor locus in humans.

Extensive variation in gene copy number at the killer immunoglobulin-like receptor locus in humans.

Killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) are involved in the regulation of natural killer cell cytotoxicity. Within the human genome seventeen KIR genes are present, which all contain a large number of allelic variants. The high level of homology among KIR genes has hampered KIR genotyping in lar...
