Influenza vaccines elicit antigen-specific antibodies and immune memory to protect humans from infection with drift variants. However, what supports or limits vaccine efficacy and duration is unclear. Here, we vaccinated healthy volunteers with annual vaccine formulations and investigated the dynamics of T cell, natural killer (NK) cell and antibody responses upon restimulation with heterologous or homologous influenza virus strains. Influenza vaccines induced potential memory NK cells with increased antigen-specific recall IFN-gamma responses during the first 6 months. In the absence of significant changes in other NK cell markers (CD45RO, NKp44, CXCR6, CD57, NKG2C, CCR7, CD62L and CD27), influenza vaccines induced memory NK cells with the distinct feature of intracellular NKp46 expression. Indeed, surface NKp46 was internalized, and the dynamic increase in NKp46(intracellular)(+)CD56(dim) NK cells positively correlated with increased IFN-gamma production to influenza virus restimulation after vaccination. In addition, anti-NKp46 antibodies blocked IFN-gamma responses. These findings provide insights into a novel mechanism underlying vaccineinduced immunity and NK-related diseases, which may help to design persisting and universal vaccines in the future.
