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.
