Investigation of the Effect of KIR–HLA Pairs on Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Hepatitis C Virus Cirrhotic Patients

Investigation of the Effect of KIR–HLA Pairs on Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Hepatitis C Virus Cirrhotic Patients

Natural killer cells are partially mediated through the binding of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I ligands. This investigation examined the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in relation to KIR–HLA pairs in patients with compensated hepa...
