ABSTRACT
Although the function of the circulating immune cell compartment has been studied in detail for decades, limitations in terms of access and cell yields from peripheral tissues have restricted our understanding of tissue-based immunity, particularly in humans. Recent advances in high-throughput protein analyses, transcriptional profiling, and epigenetics have partially overcome these obstacles. Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are predominantly tissue-resident, and accumulating data indicate that they have significant tissue-specific functions. We summarize current knowledge of ILC phenotypes in various tissues in mice and humans, aiming to clarify ILC immunity in distinct anatomical locations.
