Cell Metadata

Dendritic cells

Ontology Term: dendritic cellCL:0000451
Synonyms Terms that have the same, or nearly the same, meaning as the selected cell type.: interdigitating cell, veiled cell
Category Class of which the cell type is a subclass.: leukocyteCL:0000738
Ontology Assessment Disagreements with any aspect of the Cell Ontology.: —
Marker Gene Evidence Gene markers used by researcher to assign this cell annotation.: FLT3
Canonical Marker Genes: FLT3
Rationale: FLT3 is a pan-dendritic cell marker expressed across DC progenitors and mature DC subsets. Together with clustering context, FLT3 defines the dendritic cell compartment encompassing cDC1, cDC2B, activated DC, pDC, and proliferating DC subtypes.
Rationale DOI: 10.1038/s42255-025-01296-9

Set of Labels Description: Level 2 cell type labels (represents broad clusters most studies tend to identify).
Annotation Method: manual
