Abstract: Class I molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are expressed on most cells of the body. Recognition of MHC molecules on target cells by receptors on natural killer (NK) cells ensures that the NK cells do not kill the target cell. The structure of the life-saving interaction between MHC and an immunoglobulin-type receptor has now been described.
