Why Is Klas Kärre Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Klas Kärre is a Swedish immunologist. Kärre received his doctorate in 1981 at Karolinska Institutet and is a professor of molecular immunology at Karolinska Institutet since 1993. In the mid-1980s Kärre discovered one of the mechanisms for how cells of the immune system, natural killer cells , identify their target cells and kill them. The findings were that the NK cells are inhibited by a transplantation antigen, the major histocompatibility complex class I, which prevents NK cells from killing their target cells. When MHC class I is removed from the target cells, they are killed by the NK cells. Kärre named this phenomenon "the missing self hypothesis".
