Distinction between IL-13+ and IFN-gamma+ natural killer cells and regulation of their pool size by IL-4.

abstract：:NK cells display several killer inhibitory receptors (KIR) specific for different alleles of MHC class I molecules. A family of KIR are represented by type I transmembrane proteins belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily (Ig-SF). Besides cDNA encoding for these KIR, additional cDNA have been identified which encod...
