Analysis of the expression of KIR and HLA-Cw in a Northeast Han population

چکیده
The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-Cw and killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genes in a Jilin Han population and to provide a theoretical basis for further studies of their roles in disease. A total of 154 unpaid Jilin Han blood donors were selected and KIR and HLA-Cw genotyping was performed using PCR-SSP. Recognition of HLA-Cw and the corresponding activatory or inhibitory KIR receptor was distinguished according to the identification of HLA-Cw and KIR. In the present study, the expression frequency of HLA-C2(Lys80)+2DL1 was 27.27%, HLA-C1(Asn80)+2DL2/2DL3 was 68.83%, 2DS2+HLA-C1(Asn80) was 9.74% and 2DS1+HLA-C2(Lys80) was 9.74%. Of the individuals in the study, 72.08% expressed only KIR2DL1 without HLA-Cw, 21.43% expressed only KIR2DS1 without HLA-Cw(Lys)-KIR2DL1 and 2.60% expressed only KIR2DS2 without HLA-Cw(Asn)-KIR2DL2/L3. In conclusion, the expression of inhibitory HLA-Cw-KIR is higher than the expression of activating HLA-Cw-KIR and approximately 20% of the individuals separately expressed the activated HLA-Cw-KIR in the Jilin Han population in the present study.

Introduction: Killer-cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptors (KIR) are the members of inhibitory and activating receptors expressed chiefly by the natural killer cells (NK). KIR proteins operate as receptors detecting human leukocyte antigen class Ι molecules (HLA). KIRs and their class Ι HLA ligands contribute in the pathogenesis of many kinds of diseases. The aim of this study was to genotypic ana...

Background: Natural killer (NK) cells are the effector cells of innate immunity that respond to infection and tumor. Interactions between killer cell immunoglobulin like receptors (KIR) and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules regulate NK cells responses to eliminate infected and transformed cells. Objective: To investigate the impact of KIR genes, HLA ligand genes, and KIR-HLA combi...

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...
