Summary

Conventional natural killer (cNK) cells patrol the organism via circulation and invade tissues in response to infection or inflammation. In this issue of Immunity, Torcellan et al. report that circulating cNK cells are recruited into infected skin and differentiate into long-lived tissue-resident NK cells capable of mediating an accelerated response upon reinfection.
