- SynonymsTerms that have the same, or nearly the same, meaning as the selected cell type.
- pre-B cell
- CategoryClass of which the cell type is a subclass.
- precursor B cellCL:0000817
- Marker Gene EvidenceGene markers used by researcher to assign this cell annotation.
- VPREB1, RAG1, RAG2, DNTT, CD1A, CD1B, CD1C, CD1E
- Canonical Marker Genes
- VPREB1, RAG1, RAG2, DNTT, CD1A, CD1B, CD1C, CD1E
- Rationale
- These cluster expressed members of the VDJ recombinase (RAG1, RAG2, DNTT), and markers of B and T cells. The expression of CD1A is consistent with a publication describing extrathymyc development of T cells in human tonsils.
