Top differential gene expression mapped most with ILC1 in Azimuth tonsil dataset, including some NCAM1, NCR1, EOMES however also some expression of IL23R, RORC, AHR characteristic of ILC3, and GATA3 characteristic of ILC2. Had highest expression of SELL and ID2 in the ILCs which has been associated with more naive ILCs (see DOI)
Cell annotations were based on the finest possible label to describe the 18 clusters found across both culture conditions (control and stimulated) following integration and clustering. Gene expression across clusters correlated with matched cell annotations in the uncultured, whole lymph node dataset (LN partial T and B cell depletion) in addition to some culture-specific cell clusters
