MAMMALIAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Mouse Adult Gross Anatomy Ontology and Mammalian Phenotype Ontology are downloaded weekly from the Mouse Genome Informatics databases at Jackson Laboratories (ftp://ftp.informatics.jax.org/pub/reports/index.html). For more information about these ontologies, see the MGI Publications Page at http://www.informatics.jax.org/mgihome/other/publications.shtml.

Term:abnormal CD4-positive, alpha-beta T cell number

Accession:MP:0008073 term browser browse the term
Definition:anomaly in the number of the subset of T lymphocytes that carry the CD4 marker, recognize intravesicular peptides bound to MHC class-II molecules, and turn on antibody production
Comment:Generally, when immunologists write CD8 positive T cell, what they mean is CD8-positive, alpha-beta T cell (CL:0000625). Similarly, when immunologists write CD4 positive T cell, what they mean is CD4-positive, alpha-beta T cell (CL:0000624). T cells bearing the alpha-beta T cell receptor are the most common in the body, and are the most commonly studied, so much so, that in many published papers, the authors do not even bother to specify (or assume) they are studying alpha-beta T cells and thus omit saying so.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: abnormal CD4+ T cell number;   abnormal CD4-positive T cell number
