Macrophages & Monocytes
Synonyms
Terms that have the same, or nearly the same, meaning as the selected cell type.- unknown
Category
Class of which the cell type is a subclass.- myeloid leukocyteCL:0000766
Ontology Assessment
Disagreements with any aspect of the Cell Ontology.- —
Marker Gene Evidence
Gene markers used by researcher to assign this cell annotation.- MRC1, F13A1, FCN1
Rationale
- MRC1 (CD206) and F13A1 are broadly expressed across tissue-resident macrophage populations, while FCN1 (ficolin-1) shows enriched expression in monocyte populations. Together these markers define the macrophage and monocyte compartment encompassing LAMs, PVMs, inflammatory macrophages, proliferating macrophages, classical monocytes, non-classical monocytes, and CD14⁺S100A8/9⁺ monocytes.
