Klas Kärre Group - Collaborations and funding
Our group has formulated the missing self hypothesis for NK cell recognition, and established a number of experimental models to test and further develop this concept. This original hypothesis states that NK cells can identify abnormal cells by sensing absence or inadequate expression of self MHC class I molecules.
