Distinct differentiation properties of CD8a int-ILC subpopulations. (A and B) Expression of the transcription factors Eomes, T-bet, GATA3, and RORγt by the indicated subpopulations of CD8a int-ILC ex vivo. Histograms depict the results with one fetal intestine (A), and the graphs depict quantification of data obtained from three intestines (B; two independent experiments). Error bar shows mean ± SD. (C and D) Purified CD94+CD117CD8a int-ILC, CD94CD117CD8a int-ILC, and CD94CD117+CD8a int-ILC populations were cocultured in 96-well plates at 500 cells/well with irradiated OP9-DL1 stromal cells for 7 d with (C) culture medium supplemented with NK cytokine mix or (D) culture medium alone. Generated cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Representative biaxial plots depict the phenotypes of the generated LinCD7+ cells based on the gating strategy for ILC1, ILC2, ILC3, NK, and int-ILC subsets as shown in Fig. 3 A, for the five combinations of cell populations and culture conditions indicated. Duplicated wells were included in each condition. Representative plots show a single duplicate (three to four independent experiments).
