Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are important regulators of biological processes. Here the authors combine multiplexed imaging and computational pipelines to reveal tonsillar IRF4+ ILC3s, and to identify conserved stromal landmarks for ILC localization, thereby providing a platform for future ILC studies.
