Category
Class of which the cell type is a subclass.- lymphocyteCL:0000542
Ontology Assessment
Disagreements with any aspect of the Cell Ontology.- The label 'B-lymphocyte' maps to CL:0000236 (B cell), the parent term encompassing naive, memory, and class-switched B cell subtypes. Plasma cells (CL:0000786) are a distinct differentiated state but are grouped under B-lymphocyte at this annotation level.
Rationale
- B lymphocytes were identified and annotated based on canonical marker expression including MS4A1, CD79A, IGHM, BANK1, and CD19. This label encompasses naive B cells, memory B cells, and class-switched B cells.
