Accession
GO:0002299
Name
alpha-beta intraepithelial T cell differentiation
Ontology
biological_process
Synonyms
alpha-beta intraepithelial T lymphocyte differentiation, alpha-beta intraepithelial T-cell differentiation, alpha-beta intraepithelial T-lymphocyte differentiation, alpha-beta intraepithelial T cell development
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
The process in which a precursor cell type acquires the specialized features of an alpha-beta intraepithelial T cell. Intraepithelial T cells are found among epithelial cells in mucosal areas and have distinct phenotypes and developmental pathways. Source: ISBN:0781735149, GOC:add
Comment
Note that immunologists typically use the word 'development' to refer to cells of B or T cell lineages undergoing the process that GO describes as 'cell differentiation'.
