‘Immature’ CD49b−/CD27+ spNK cells but not ‘mature’ CD49b+/CD27− spNK cells repopulate the peritoneal cavity from the periphery under steady-state conditions. 4.5 × 105 sorted ‘mature’ CD27− spNK cells (NK1.1+ CD49b+ CD27−) (left panels) or ‘immature’ CD27+ spNK cells (NK1.1+ CD49b− CD27+) (right panels) carrying the congenic CD45.1 marker were transferred i.v. into CD45.2 RAGγcKO mice. Eight days later, cells from the spleen (upper row) and peritoneum (lower row) were collected and the percentage of CD45.1+/NK1.1+ cells calculated, as well as their expression of CD49b and CD27. Numbers in each quadrant represent the percentage of gated cells that fall within that quadrant. Data represent 2 or more independent experiments with two mice per each group.
