The killer cell lectin-like receptor G1 (KLRG1) is the mouse homolog of the rat mast cell function-associated Ag and contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif in its cytoplasmic domain. In this study we demonstrate that both pathogenic and nonpathogenic in vivo activation of NK cells induces the expression of KLRG1 on their cell surface. Upon infection with murine CMV, this induction peaks between days 5 and 7 with about 90% of the NK cells expressing KLRG1. On day 1.5 post-murine CMV infection of C57BL/6 mice, the main producers of IFN-gamma are the KLRG1-negative NK cells. This effect has been recapitulated in vitro as we show that engagement of KLRG1 on a transfected NK cell line inhibits both cytokine production and NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Taken together, these data illustrate the crucial role played by KLRG1 during the termination of mouse NK cell activation.
