Disagreements with any aspect of the Cell Ontology.
migratory DCs are a well described rare celltype relevant to mucosal biology that are increasingly being annotated in single cell atlases - they should have a cell ontology label!
Marker Gene Evidence
Gene markers used by researcher to assign this cell annotation.
Genes expected to be absent, or expressed at a notably low level, in these cells, and whose absence supports the assignment of this cell annotation.

Rationale
LAMP3, CCR7, IDO1, CD40, CCL5, capture the antigen experienced, lymph node directed migratory DC state which has been repeatedly observed in barrier tissues
Cell annotations based on two rounds of subclustering with scVI integration, sample_id as batch key. Cell annotations were refined by expert feedback based on "prelim annotation" on CAP. Prelim annotation is renamed "hgca_celltype_v0" here and the feedback on the "prelim annotation" is available by selecting a previous version of the Integrated Human Gut Atlas on CAP.
