Classification of Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILCs). ILCs are divided in five types, depending on the transcription factor governing their differentiation, their driver cytokines (trigger), and the cytokines they produce. Natural killer cells are mobile and cytotoxic, ILC1-3 are tissue-resident and non-cytotoxic. LTi cells are essential for secondary lymphoid organ development during embryogenesis. The main functions of the different ILC types are summarised.
