We propose that transcriptional regulation of the KIR locus is a dynamic process that occurs throughout human NK cell development. Shown here are the stages of human NK cell development as previously reported [19] and our proposed model for sequential transcriptional events within the KIR locus. ES cell = Embryonic stem cell; HSC = hematopoietic stem cell; iNK cells = immature NK cells.
