Can Selective MHC Downregulation Explain the Specificity and Genetic Diversity of NK Cell Receptors?

Natural killer (NK) cells express inhibiting receptors (iNKRs), which specifically bind MHC-I molecules on the surface of healthy cells. When the expression of MHC-I on the cell surface decreases, which might occur during certain viral infections and cancer, iNKRs lose inhibiting signals and the inf...
