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

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

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”

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.

  • For example,

Note: Not all existing content conforms to this guidance.

Cell positive for FMC7 antigen and positive for CD10 antigen
Cell positive for CD4 and CD127 antigen and negative for CD127 antigen,
