Naming Convention for Cells Expressing Antigens
Fully specified name
Order antigens numerically first.
For example,
732279009 |Cell positive for CD3 antigen and positive for CD4 antigen (cell)|
NOT
Cell positive for CD4 antigen and positive for CD3 antigen
Named antigens follow in alphabetical order.
For example,
1373093007 |Cell positive for CD10 antigen and positive for FMC7 antigen (cell)|
NOT
Cell positive for FMC7 antigen and positive for CD10 antigen
Include “positive”/”negative” for each antigen individually. Do not group by positive or negative expressions.
For example,
1373277009 |Cell positive for CD4 antigen and negative for CD25 antigen and positive for CD127 antigen (cell)|
NOT
Cell positive for CD4 and CD127 antigen and negative for CD127 antigen,
Preferred Term
The PT includes the “shorthand" expression. This terming is commonly used in the domain.
For example,
1373277009 |Cell positive for CD4 antigen and negative for CD25 antigen and positive for CD127 antigen (cell)| has a PT of “CD4+CD25-CD127+ cell”
1373093007 |Cell positive for CD10 antigen and positive for FMC7 antigen (cell)| has a PT of “CD10+FMC7+ cell”
Additional descriptions
Include an acceptable description of the FSN minus the semantic tag.
If appropriate, include an acceptable description with the expansion of a gene name, and include the word antigen.
