| Preferred Name | T cell differentiation | |
| Synonyms |
T cell development T-lymphocyte differentiation T lymphocyte differentiation T-cell differentiation |
|
| Definitions |
The process in which a precursor cell type acquires characteristics of a more mature T-cell. A T cell is a type of lymphocyte whose definin characteristic is the expression of a T cell receptor complex. Note that the term 'thymocyte differentiation' was merged into this term because thymocytes are T cells, and thus the term was essentially redundant. 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'. |
