Abstract: Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes of innate immunity that also contribute to placental reproduction. Mice, humans and other placental mammals have NK cell receptors that recognize polymorphic determinants of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I. These systems of highly variable receptors and ligands evolve rapidly, with the consequence that the human system of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors and HLA-A, -B, -C ligands has counterparts only in apes and Old World monkeys. With some focus on unique aspects of the human system, the function, diversity and evolution of the interactions between KIR and MHC class I will be reviewed.
