KIR-HLA combinations and susceptibility to tuberculosis
Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (Mtb), with more than nine million new cases and almost two million deaths in each year is a worldwide important public health problem. Generally, human immune responses prevent Mtb spread, and the infection remains in a latent state. Both, innate and adaptive immune responses are involved against TB. However, the role of the...
متن کاملNK Cell Alloreactivity against KIR-Ligand-Mismatched HLA-Haploidentical Tissue Derived from HLA Haplotype-Homozygous iPSCs
HLA haplotype-homozygous (HLA-homo) induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are being prepared to be used for allogeneic transplantation of regenerated tissue into recipients carrying an identical haplotype in one of the alleles (HLA-hetero). However, it remains unaddressed whether natural killer (NK) cells respond to these regenerated cells. HLA-C allotypes, known to serve as major ligands for ...
متن کاملارتباط برهمکنش‌های KIR-HLA با بیماری‌ها
The killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) are a recently discovered family of activating and inhibitory receptors which control natural killer (NK) cell function. KIR exist as a diverse family of receptors that have evolved rapidly by both gene duplication and recombination events. These findings were unexpected for a family of genes involved primarily in the innate immune response. H...
متن کاملارتباط KIRهای فعال‌کنندگی با استعداد ابتلا به سل در جمعیت لر
Background: Natural Killer (NK) cells, through mechanisms such as cytotoxicity and cytokine production, are among the first line of defence against infections. The ability of NK cytotoxicity is related to Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) found on the cell surface. Interaction between KIRs and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules regulate NK cells responses to eliminate...
متن کاملKIR2DS3 is Associated with Protection against Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Background: Interaction between killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules is important for regulation of natural killer (NK) cell function. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of compound KIR-HLA genotype on susceptibility to acute leukemia. Methods: Cohorts of Iranian patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML;...
