This will color the plot by NKG7 gene expression, CD4 protein expression, and CD3 protein expression. Each feature gets a color channel, green, red, or blue. Cells without expression are black. The mix of green, red, and blue coloring each cell is determined by the relative expression of the three genes. Cells expressing both CD4 protein (red) and CD3 protein (blue), but not NKG7 (green) are purple, while cells expressing both NKG7 (green) and CD3 protein (blue) are teal (Figure 4748). CD3 is a pan-T cells marker, which indicates that this group of clusters is composed of T cells. 

...

By default, any cell that expresses >= 1 normalized count of NKG7 is now selected (Figure 4849).
