Consistent with these observations, gene signature–based deconvolution of cell types by xCell ( 24 ) showed highly significant enrichment of immature dendritic cell (iDC) signatures in the normal nasopharynx compared with epithelium from other upper airway sites including the tonsil ( P = 1.11 × 10 −10 ; fig.
