From: Altered distribution of mucosal NK cells during HIV infection
Impact of KIR/HLA compound genotypes on the frequency of gut mucosal NK cells. The difference in numbers of IEL NK cells and LP NK cells was compared between controllers expressing protective KIR/HLA alleles (KIR3DS1-Bw4-80I or KIR3DL1*h-Bw4-80I) with those not expressing protective KIR/HLA alleles. HLA, human leukocyte antigen; IEL, intraepithelial lymphocyte; KIR, killer immunoglobulin-like receptor; LP, lamina propria; NK, natural killer.
