abstract：:The Ly49 family of natural killer (NK) cell receptors is encoded by a polygenic genetic locus. Allelic forms have been described and their expression appears to be regulated. The best-characterized Ly49 molecule, the C57BL/6 form of Ly49A, is an NK cell inhibitory receptor that binds H2Dd. To determine whether differe...
