(A) In homeostatic conditions, mature NK cells are exposed to low IL-15 concentration triggering STAT5 phosphorylation and translocation to the nucleus where pro-survival genes are transcribed. (B) Immature NK cells in the BM or mature NK cells following activation are exposed to high IL-15 concentration leading to mTOR activation of metabolism. This induces proliferation and the development of effector functions.
