ac, Multiphoton microscopy of the small intestine of mixed bone marrow chimeras generated by injection of whole bone marrow CD45.2+ cells from ActbCFP and Rag2−/−RorcGFPIl22TdT mice into lethally irradiated congenic CD45.1+ C57BL/6J mice 7 weeks post-transfer. a, Representative image (left; scale bar, 50 µm) and time-lapse images (right; scale bar, 15 µm) of ILC3s and CFP+ cells in intestinal villi or ILF of bone marrow chimera. b, Individual tracks of intestinal ActbECFP+ cells and RorcGFP+ ILC3s in intestinal villi or ILF. c, Mean speed, arrest coefficient and straightness ratio of indicated populations in the intestine. Results in b,c are from two (ActbECFP+ cells and RorcGFP+ ILC3s in ILFs) or nine movies (RorcGFP+ ILC3s in intestinal villi) obtained in two independent experiments (n = 170 ActbECFP+ cells; n = 49 RorcGFP+ ILC3ss (intestinal villi); n = 38 RorcGFP+ ILC3s (ILFs)). Each line corresponds to the mean ± s.e.m. of the values obtained; only ILC3s were tested (**P < 0.002; ***P < 0.001; two-tailed Mann–Whitney U-test; exact P values are provided in the source data).
