Human natural killer (NK) cells are functionally regulated by killer cell immunoglobulin like receptors (KIRs) and their interactions with HLA class I molecules. As KIR expression in a given NK cell is genetically established, KIR repertoire perturbations reflect a dominance of discrete NK-cell subs...
