Why this annotation

Key genes: SLAMF1 (SLAM family receptor, T/NK cell costimulation), LY9 (SLAM family, lymphocyte activation), FCMR (IgM Fc receptor, expressed on T/B cells), IL7R (IL-7 receptor, essential for T cell homeostasis and naïve T cell survival), CD40LG (CD40L, T helper effector function), GPR171 (neuropeptide receptor expressed in lymphocytes), ISG20/IFIH1 (interferon-stimulated genes), APOL6 (IFN-stimulated), TRIM14 (innate immune), TAP2 (antigen presentation), PML (IFN/antiviral), ZBTB25 (transcriptional repressor), SERINC3. The SLAM family receptors (SLAMF1, LY9), IL7R, and CD40LG together define a T cell homeostasis/activation module. ISG20, IFIH1, APOL6, PML, TAP2 add a mild interferon flavor. This strongly resembles a naïve/resting MAIT cell identity module with lymphocyte costimulatory markers and partial ISG signature.
