Expression of transcription factors and their target genes in hepatic NK cells and ILC1s in mice. Eomes expression is unique to NK cells (purple) and induces the expression of genes that are involved in cytotoxicity, maturation and trafficking. Tbx21 is expressed by both cells (orange) and induces the expression of genes associated with cytotoxicity in both cell types and genes associated with maturation (Zeb2, Blimp1) and trafficking (S1pr5) in NK cells only, possibly due to the different expression levels or coregulation by other transcription factors. Znf683 is only expressed by ILC1s (teal) and regulates cytotoxicity and tissue retention
