Figure 7From: Characterization of killer immunoglobulin-like receptor genetics and comprehensive genotyping by pyrosequencing in rhesus macaquesNovel rhesus macaque KIR sequences share homology with cynomolgus macaque KIRs. Amino acid differences between the consensus sequences for the lineage II Mamu-KIR genes, KIRnov03, KIRnov04 and the Mafa-KIR sequence EU419113 are shown. The amino-acid position is indicated above the amino-acid sequences. The positions in the novel sequences that vary from the consensus are highlighted. Residues predicted to be involved in MHC-binding or alpha-helix loops are indicated below the sequences with B or L respectively. Black shading indicates residues for which no sequence coverage was available.Back to article page
