Term:germinal center B cell differentiation

Accession:GO:0002314 term browser browse the term
Definition:The process in which a B cell in the spleen acquires the specialized features of a germinal center B cell. Germinal center B cells are rapidly cycling B cells which have downregulated IgD expression and exhibit high levels of binding by peanut agglutinin (PNA).
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'.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: germinal center B lymphocyte differentiation
 related_synonym: germinal center B cell development
