The activity of human natural killer (NK) cells is in part regulated by the expression of killer cell immunoglobulin (Ig)‐like receptors (KIR) that recognize major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and can inhibit NK cell cytotoxicity. A monoclonal anti‐KIR antibody was established and designated Lig1. Lig1 was shown to be specific for KIR in cell‐surface staining and to react with all KIR2D, except KIR2DL4 which lacks a D1 domain, but not with KIR3D molecules in an enzyme‐linked immunoadsorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blotting. Unlike other anti‐KIR antibodies, Lig1 did not inhibit binding of KIR‐Ig‐fusion proteins to MHC‐class I expressing cells nor did it interfere with KIR‐mediated inhibition of NK cell cytotoxicity in a functional assay. Lig1 reacted with all NK cells in polyclonal NK populations from different donors, demonstrating that all NK cells express at least one KIR2D receptor.
