AmiGO 2: Term Details for "alpha-beta intraepithelial T cell differentiation" (GO:0002299)

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'.
