摘要: Killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) can regulate the activation of NK and T cells in response to infection. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Treponema pallidum subspecies spirochete bacterium. The objective this study was explore whether KIR genotypes haplotypes were associated with syphilis Chinese Han population. Polymerase chain reaction sequence-specific primers (PCR–SSP) used identify 190 patients 192 healthy controls. frequency genotype P higher controls than that (P = 0.002), its OR 0.304, while frequencies AE AG those haplotype 17 lower, 0.321, whereas 1 6 A B have distinctive centromeric (Cen) telomeric (Tel) gene content motifs. Tel-B/B (P = 0.024). Based on these findings, it seems individuals AE, or Tel-B/B, are susceptible syphilis, protective from
