Research Abstract |
Killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) have been shown to play a crucial role in regulating the activation of NK cells. To find out the novel ligand for KIRs, KIR-Ig fusion proteins were produced in this study. The binding of KIR2DS4-Ig to specific virus infected cells was detected, indicating that specific virus infected cells expressed unknown ligand for KIR2DS4.
