Files pertaining to data analyses performed and presented in the preprint, 'Porcine intestinal innate lymphoid cells and lymphocyte spatial context revealed through single-cell RNA sequencing' by Wiarda et al. 2022 are provided in this dataset. Single cell suspensions enriched for lymphocytes were obtained from ileum of two seven-week-old pigs and subjected to single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected and processed for scRNA-seq in parallel. scRNA-seq was performed to provide transcriptomic profiles of lymphocytes in porcine ileum, with 31,983 cells annotated into 26 cell types. Deeper interrogation of data revealed previously undescribed cells in porcine intestine, including SELLhi γδ T cells, group 1 and group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), and four subsets of B cells. Single-cell transcriptomes in ileum were compared to those in porcine blood, and subsets of activated lymphocytes were detected in ileum but not periphery. Comparison to scRNA-seq human and murine ileum data revealed a general consensus of ileal lymphocytes across species. Lymphocyte spatial context in porcine ileum was conferred through differential tissue dissection prior to scRNA-seq. Antibody-secreting cells, B cells, follicular CD4 αβ T cells, and cycling T/ILCs were enriched in ileum with Peyer’s patches, while non-cycling γδ T, CD8 αβ T, and group 1 ILCs were enriched in ileum without Peyer’s patches.
