- SynonymsTerms that have the same, or nearly the same, meaning as the selected cell type.
- NK cell
- CategoryClass of which the cell type is a subclass.
- lymphocyteCL:0000542
- Marker Gene EvidenceGene markers used by researcher to assign this cell annotation.
- NKG7, KLRD1, KLRB1, GZMA, GZMB, GNLY, CCL4
- Canonical Marker Genes
- NKG2D (KLRK1), KLRB1, KLRG1, KLRC1, KLRC2, KLRC3, KLRF1, KLRD1
- Rationale
- There's no differential CD3 or TRAC expression here but plenty of cytotoxic markers, including KLR enzymes, which points to NK rather than T.
