The activity of natural killer cells depends on the balance between activating and inhibitory signals coming from their receptors. Among these are the killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) that recognize specific HLA class I allotypes. Here we characterized KIR genetic diversity and their HLA ligands in the population of Curitiba, Paraná State (n = 164), and compared it with other worldwide...
CD28 and cytotoxic T lymphocyte‐associated antigen 4 (CTLA‐4) are two receptors that have complementary functions in control of T‐cell activation. Polymorphisms of their genes, CD28 and CTLA4, might confer differential susceptibility to diseases resulting from unbalanced or inefficient immune responses. Thus far, little is known about the CD28 polymorphism in populations and even for CTLA4 just one...
