摘要
Killer-cell inhibitory receptors (KIRs) are a new family of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-specific receptors. KIRs allow natural killer cells to identify and lyse self cells that do not express sufficient amounts of MHC class I molecules. Here, Maria Cristina Mingari and colleagues view the expression of KIRs by cytolytic T lymphocytes and their regulation by certain cytokines as a double-edged sword.
