title: Natural killer cells: influence of the home environment.
abstract: Recent results show that the repertoire of anti-MHC class 1-specific inhibitory receptors expressed by natural killer cells is influenced by self class 1 molecules in such a way as to minimize the number of cells with multiple self-reactive inhibitory receptors.
