Feature plots of signature genes used to identify mouse lung cell populations
The following genes were used to identify general populations of cells:
- immune cells (Ptprc),
- epithelial cells (Epcam),
- endothelial cells (Pecam1, Lyve1, Vwf)
- mesenchymal cells (Col1a2).
The following genes were used to identify specific cell populations within the main types of cells:
- T cells (Cd3e),
- B cells (Cd19),
- myeloid cells (Fcgr1),
- neutrophils (Mmp9),
- type I pneumocytes (Akap5),
- type II pneumocytes (Sftpc),
- ciliated epithelial cells (Foxj1),
- club cells (Scgb1a1),
- lymphatic endothelial cells (Pecam1, Thy1),
- fibroblasts (Pdg fra)
- pericytes and smooth muscle cells (Acta2)
- mesothelial cells (Msln)
- platelets (Pf4)
