Subsequent studies have shown that KIR2DS5 is highly polymorphic in Africans, and that KIR2DS5006 protects pregnant Ugandan women from preeclampsia. Because inhibitory C2-specific KIR2DL1 correlates with preeclampsia, whereas activating C2-specific KIR2DS1 protects, this association pointed to KIR2DS5006 being an activating C2-specific receptor.

Results: Six African-specific KIR2DS5 bound to C2+ HLA-C but not to other HLA class I. Their avidity for C2 is 20% that of C2-specific KIR2DL1 and 40% that of C2-specific KIR2DS1. Among the African C2 receptors is KIR2DS5006, which protected a cohort of pregnant Ugandans from pre-eclampsia. Three African KIR2DS5 allotypes and KIR2DS5002, bound no HLA-A, -B or -C.

Introduction: KIR2DS5 is an activating human NK cell receptor of lineage III KIR. These include both inhibitory KIR2DL1, 2 and 3 and activating KIR2DS1 that recognize either the C1 or C2 epitope of HLA-C. In Europeans KIR2DS5 is essentially monomorphic, with KIR2DS5002 being predominant. Pioneering investigations showed that KIR2DS5002 has activating potential, but cannot recognize HLA-A, -B, or -C. Subsequent studies have shown that KIR2DS5 is highly polymorphic in Africans, and that KIR2DS5006 protects pregnant Ugandan women from preeclampsia. Because inhibitory C2-specific KIR2DL1 correlates with preeclampsia, whereas activating C2-specific KIR2DS1 protects, this association pointed to KIR2DS5006 being an activating C2-specific receptor. To test this hypothesis we made KIR-Fc fusion proteins from all ten KIR2DS5 allotypes and tested their binding to a representative set of HLA-A, -B and -C allotypes. Results: Six African-specific KIR2DS5 bound to C2+ HLA-C but not to other HLA class I. Their avidity for C2 is 20% that of C2-specific KIR2DL1 and 40% that of C2-specific KIR2DS1.
