A large number of molecules in the immune system are encoded by multigene families. These genes are rich in pairs of activating and inhibitory receptors that share the same ligands, thereby playing a crucial role in immunoregulation. Furthermore, multigene families tend to be highly polymorphic. Thus, multigene families are strong candidates for co...
