The killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) gene complex, a highly polymorphic region of the human genome that encodes proteins involved in immune responses, poses strong challenges in genotyping owing to its remarkable genetic diversity and structural intricacy. Accurate analysis of KIR alleles, including their structural variations, is crucial for understanding their roles in various immune responses. Leveraging the high-quality genome assemblies from the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium (HPRC), we present a novel bioinformatic tool, the structural KIR annoTator (SKIRT), to investigate gene diversity and facilitate precise KIR allele analysis.

This study examines the interplay between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) compatibility and killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genotypes in influencing kidney transplantation outcomes. Understanding these interactions is crucial for improving graft survival and minimizing rejection risks. We evaluated 84 kidney transplant recipients, dividing them into two groups based on post-transplant outcomes: there were 68 with stable graft function (SGF) and 16 who experienced chronic rejection (CR).

Background: Immunotherapy has opened up a new era of individualized treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with negative driver gene mutations. Anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibodies have been the main options for immunotherapy over the past decade. Screening for predictive markers of anti-PD-1/PD-L1-responsive patients remains a focus in the field of immunotherapy, especially on the protein level in which relevant proteomic biomarkers are still lacking.

Introduction: Endometriosis is a worldwide gynacological diseases, affecting in 6-10% of women of reproductive age. The aim of this study was to investigate the gene network and potential signatures of immune infiltration in endometriosis.
Methods: The expression profiles of GSE51981, GSE6364, and GSE7305 were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database.
