Figure S1. Serial negative gating strategy used to define NK, CD4+ T, and CD8+ T cells from PBMCs. NK cells are defined as CD19-, CD3-, CD33-, HLA-DR-
/CD56+, LILRB1low, CD56/CD16+. CD4+ T cells are CD19-, CD3+, CD4+, CD8-. CD8+ T cells are CD19-, CD3+, CD4-, CD8+. For experiments using purified NK and CD4+ T cells, residual monocytes and B cells are excluded by a CD14/CD19 dump gate.

Figure S3. Stability analysis of CD56bright versus CD56dim NK cells. NK cells from HIP donors were gated into CD56brightCD16- (A, B) and CD56dimCD16+ (C, D) subpopulations as shown. As described for Figure 1B and 1C, they were analyzed in a Bayesian hierarchical model for the stability of each receptor within each subpopulation. These subpopulations showed similar levels of stability as in the total NK population (95% credible intervals for mean SD for CD56bright <0.1; CD56dim <0.12).

Figure S7. CMV serostatus does not correlate with NK cell diversity or the frequency of NKG2A or CD57. Mean diversity (A) CD57 frequency (B) or NKG2A frequency (C) stratified by CMV serostatus for HIP donors. While donors with CMV seropositivity trend toward higher diversity and lower total NKG2A expression, none of these associations is significant (Diversity p = 0.1; CD57 p = 0.9; NKG2A p = 0.3, Student’s t-test).
Figure S8. NK diversity does not correlate with viral suppression in vitro. NK cells were allowed to suppress autologous HIV-1-infected CD4+ T cells in vitro for 48h (see Methods for assay details). Linear model coefficients p=0.61, 0.51, and 0.85 for MOI = 40, 100, and 250, respectively. n=6.

Figure S11. Proportion of variance explained in correspondence analysis. The first three axes, considered in Figure 6A-B and D-E, explain a cumulative 34% of the total variance for HIV-1 (A), and 24% for WNV (B), indicating the extreme diversity of the NK repertoire. Even while accounting for 1/4 - 1/3 of the total variance, we were still able to detect a significant increase in the sum of squared distances from the centroid following addition of virus-infected CD4+ T cells (Figure 6C, F), showing the high degree of divergence detected.
