ABSTRACT
We hereby report the KIR gene frequencies and the frequencies of HLA ligands of KIR for Brazilians of Japanese ancestry. A total of 51 individuals were genotyped for presence/absence of KIR (killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors) genes and presence of HLA (human leukocyte antigens) ligands. KIR was genotyped using two pairs of sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) and HLA ligands were typed by LABType® SSO reagent kits (One Lambda, USA). These data are fully available in Allele Frequencies Net Database, under the population name "Brazil Curitiba Japanese KIR".
