Mouse and human ILC2s are heterogenous populations. Initial descriptions of ILC2s suggested that multiple surface markers including CD127, ST2 (mouse), and CRTH2 (human) were present on all ILC2s (top). However, current studies show now that these markers are not present in a substantial number of TH2 cytokine-producing ILC2s in both humans and mice (bottom).
