Abstract
Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are members of the family of innate lymphoid cells and are innately committed to type 2 immune responses. In the lungs, ILC2s are the predominant population of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and their development is orchestrated by several different transcription factors ensuring lineage commitment by intrinsic regulation. ILC2s are present in the lungs from the foetal period onwards and are thus exposed to extrinsic regulation due to the airways' continuous morphological changes upon birth. In this review, we will briefly summarise the dependence of ILC2s on transcription factors and discuss recently described characteristics and function of early life ILC2s in the lungs.
