During the last few years many laboratories have developed a keen interest in detecting killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) receptor genes in various populations, diseases and in stem cell transplantation. At the 14th International Histocompatibility Workshop held in Melbourne in December 2006, many of these laboratories presented their findings at a special session. To introduce this work, we provide an introduction to KIR receptors and an outline of previous applications of KIR receptor typing prior to the Workshop.
在过去几年里，许多实验室对在不同人群、疾病以及干细胞移植中检测杀伤细胞免疫球蛋白样受体（KIR）基因产生了浓厚兴趣。在2006年12月于墨尔本举行的第14届国际组织相容性研讨会上，许多这样的实验室在一个特别会议上展示了他们的研究结果。为介绍这项工作，我们先对KIR受体进行介绍，并概述研讨会之前KIR受体分型的先前应用情况。
