Recent studies have demonstrated that natural killer (NK) cells are able to undergo clonal expansion and contraction and to generate self-renewing memory cells after infection with mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV). It is unclear whether all or only certain subsets preferentially contribute to the generation of memory NK cells. Here, we show that memory NK cells predominantly arise from killer cell lectin-like receptor G1 (KLRG1)-negative NK cell progenitors, whereas KLRG1-positive NK cells have limi ...[more]
