LILRB1 binds with low affinity to a conserved region in the
α3 domain of essentially all HLA class I glycoproteins, including HLA-A, -B,
-C, -E, -F, and -G. LILRB1 receptors on NK cells can suppress their activation (cytotoxicity) upon encountering HLA classI–bearing
targets (demonstrated for HLA-G, only).
