Figure 5. Identification of Axl⁺ noncanonical plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) in mice.

(A) Violin plots depicting relative expression of conserved ‘non canonical AXL⁺ DCs’ associated markers in mouse pDC clusters. (B) Bone marrow (BM) scRNA-seq data was subsetted to include only pDCs and Prog2 subsets. We used Monocle3 for partition-based learning of cell developmental trajectories. Louvain partitions were generated from single-cell reads and their developmental trajectory was inferred using SimplePPT (top right quadrant). Pseudotime across clusters is shown in the lower bottom quadrant.
