Abstract
Embodiments of the instant disclosure relate to novel compositions, methods and systems for generating ILC cells. In certain embodiments, the present disclosure provides for a composition including a hematopoietic progenitor cell expressing CD48 and at least one of a CD48 ligand, a CD48 agonist or a CD48 antagonist in order to induce production of ILC2 or ILC3 (for example, NCR+ ILC3 and LTi-ILC3) cell populations. In other certain embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods of treating one or more health condition or immune-mediated condition in a subject by administering an effective amount of a composition of ILC2 or ILC3 cells generated using methods disclosed herein.
