The killer cell Ig-like receptor (M) gene, KIR3DS1, has been implicated in slowing disease progression in HIV infection; however, little is known about its expression, function, or ligand specificity. Using retrovirally transduced NKL cells and peripheral blood NK cells from KIR3DS1-positive donors we assessed expression of this gene by flow cytometry and its function by in vitro assays measuring KIR3DS1-induced cell-mediated cytotoxicity and cytokine production. In the present study, we demonstrate that KIR3DS1 is expressed on peripheral blood NK cells and triggers both cytotoxicity and IFN-gamma production. Using A cotransfection and coimmunoprecipitation, we found 4 that KIR3DS1 associates with the ITAM-bearing adaptor, DAP12. Soluble KIR3DS1-Ig fusion proteins did not bind to EBV-transformed B lymphoid cell lines transfected with HLA-Bw4 80I or 80T allotypes, suggesting that if KIR3DS1 does recognize HLA-Bw4 ligands, this may be peptide dependent.
