Table 2.
Receptor-ligand mismatch
Father KIR | Corresponding ligand(s) in patient |
---|---|
2DL1+ | HLA-CLys80 (Cw*04, Cw*05) |
2DL3+ | No cognate ligand in patient |
3DL1+ | HLA-Bw4 (B*53, B*44) |
Recipient HLA and donor KIR typing demonstrated the absence of HLA-CAsn80 ligand in the patient for KIR2DL3, which was present in the donor. This leads to a prediction of NK-cell alloreactivity by the KIR receptor-ligand model.
