Regulation of KIR expression in human T cells: A safety mechanism that may impair protective T-cell responses

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Killer-cell inhibitory receptors (KIRs) are a new family of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-specific receptors. KIRs allow natural killer cells to identify and lyse self cells that do not express sufficient amounts of MHC class I molecules. Here, Maria Cristina Mingari and colleagues view the expression of KIRs by cytolytic T lymphocytes and their regulation by certain cytokines as a double-edged sword.
