This last observation suggests that, in analogy to the T cell thymic maturation, a selection of KIR-HLA-I pairs able to "recognize" self-antigens should sometime occur during ontogenesis or phylogenesis. Evidences that some combinations of maternal KIR and fetal HLA-I molecules influence the reproductive success [39] suggest the possibility that, along the evolution of the human species, maternal uterine KIR+ NK cells could have biased the HLA-I (loaded with fetal peptides) of newborn.
