The effect of interleukin-15 on the expression of killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors on peripheral natural killer cells in human

Interleukin (IL)-15 has emerged as a key regulator of both natural killer (NK) cell differentiation and activation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expansion of the population of cells expressing killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (CD158a and CD158b) in human peripheral ly...
