The human lung as an interface organ harbors its own tissue-resident immune compartment, which is composed primarily of alveolar macrophages but also tissue-resident memory (TRM) T and NK cells. This TRM compartment is highly relevant for lung transplantation, cancer and infections – but the spatial organization remains elusive. Here, we show exemplarily how the Xenium technology can visualize the spatial organization of TRM immune cells in the human lung. Technological aspects as well as preliminary results of the composition of immune and structural cells will be presented in this lecture.
