Tuning of NK-Specific HLA-C Expression by Alternative mRNA Splicing

A complex system regulating HLA-C expression in NK cells, driven by an NK-specific promoter that produces alternatively spliced variants of the 5′-UTR has been recently identified. Exon content of the NK-specific 5′-UTR varies strikingly across HLA-C alleles, with some exons being allele specific. I...
