Proliferating macrophages

Ontology Term: cycling macrophageCL:4033076
Synonyms Terms that have the same, or nearly the same, meaning as the selected cell type.: proliferating macrophage
Category Class of which the cell type is a subclass.: macrophageCL:0000235
Ontology Assessment Disagreements with any aspect of the Cell Ontology.: —
Marker Gene Evidence Gene markers used by researcher to assign this cell annotation.: MRC1, MKI67
Canonical Marker Genes: MRC1, MKI67
Rationale: MRC1 (CD206) is a general macrophage marker confirming macrophage identity. MKI67 (Ki-67) is a marker of active cell proliferation. Together these markers identify a proliferating macrophage population rather than a transcriptionally distinct macrophage subset.
