- SynonymsTerms that have the same, or nearly the same, meaning as the selected cell type.
- plasma B cell, plasmocyte, plasma B-cell, plasmacyte
- CategoryClass of which the cell type is a subclass.
- plasma cellCL:0000786
- Marker Gene EvidenceGene markers used by researcher to assign this cell annotation.
- XBP1, IRF4, PRDM1, DERL3, FKBP11, MZB1
- Canonical Marker Genes
- XBP1, IRF4, PRDM1, DERL3, FKBP11, MZB1
- Rationale
- This cluster corresponds to fully-differentiated plasma cells. These cells express high levels of the 3 bona-fide PC transcription factors (XBP1, IRF4, PRDM1), as well as PC phenotypic markers (MZB1, DERL3). They do not express any cell cycle gene.
