- CategoryClass of which the cell type is a subclass.
- myeloid cellCL:0000763
- Marker Gene EvidenceGene markers used by researcher to assign this cell annotation.
- CD86, CLEC10A, STMN1, UBE2C, CENPF
- Canonical Marker Genes
- XCR1
- Rationale
- This small cluster expresses CD86, a dendritic cell marker, and many proliferative markers like STMN1, CENPF, and UBE2C, but not XCR1. It's possible it could be a cDC1 or more generally a proliferative dendritic cell despite lack of XCR1. Here it is grouped in with macrophages because it could be some kind of dendritic precursor but I'm not sure about this.
