ABSTRACT
Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) are members of the immunoglobulin superfamily expressed on natural killer (NK) cells and a subset of T cells. Given the receptor-ligand relationship between certain KIR and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) classⅠmolecules, the KIRs are involved in the regulation of NK cell activation through conveying activating or inhibitory signals, which plays an important role in immunities involved in transplantation, tumor, infection as well as autoimmune diseases. This paper has provided a review for the research on KIR gene polymorphisms and summarized the characteristics of the sequence-based typing method for KIR genes.
