A method for fast, simple and accurate assessment of NKG2C copy-number variation - presence or absence in the genome of an NKG 2C gene, in homo- or heterozygosis, is detected by a single conventional polymerase chain reaction that yields amplicons of different lengths in each genotype.

Analysis of the contribution of KIR gene diversity to the variable clinical course of HSV-1 infection by comparing the distribution of these genes in humans with clinical manifestations of the disease with that in asymptomatically infected donors suggests that presence in the genome of Kir2DL2 and KIR2DS2 hinders an effective cellular response to HSv-1.

Medicine
It is shown that relapsing MS (R-MS) is associated with a gene deletion affecting the hypothetically soluble leukocyte immunoglobulin (Ig)-like receptor A3 (LILRA3, 19q13.4), in agreement with an earlier finding in German patients, which points to a gene-dose-dependent, protective role for LILra3.

This dissertation aims to provide a history of immunobiology from 1989 to 2002, a period chosen in order to explore its roots as well as specific cases up to and including the year in which descriptions of “black box” disease began to circulate.

The results demonstrate that host immunogenetics, in particular NKG2C diversity, influences the magnitude of such response to HCMV.
