The Publisher regrets that in chapter 40, figure 40.1 is incorrect. The correct figure is given below.

The antileukemic benefit of KIR mismatch. NK cells in a donor who is heterozygous for HLA-C with respect to KIR ligands (having both a Group C1 allele that interacts with KIR2DL2 and a Group C2 allele that interacts with KIR2DL1) will be skewed toward no activation when receiving both inhibitory signals. However, when the NK cells are transferred to a recipient who is homozygous at HLA-C (e.g., HLA-C alleles are Group C1) the NK cells will lack the inhibitory signal through KIR2DL1, further tipping the balance toward activation when encountering tumor cells that also express activating ligands
