Mouse Gene Set: GOBP_GERMINAL_CENTER_B_CELL_DIFFERENTIATION

For the Human gene set with the same name, see GOBP_GERMINAL_CENTER_B_CELL_DIFFERENTIATION

Standard name GOBP_GERMINAL_CENTER_B_CELL_DIFFERENTIATION
Systematic name MM4231
Brief description 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). [GOC:jal, ISBN:0781735149]
