Abstract

The activation of human natural killer (NK) cells is under tight negative control of killer cell Ig-like receptors (KIR) specific for HLA class I. Recently, several new receptor families were identified which share structural features with KIR but are expressed in various different cell types of the immune system. One of these receptor families, the gp49 glycoproteins, are expressed on mouse mast cells and NK cells where they may deliver dominant inhibitory signals participating in the regulation of cellular effector functions.
