Preferred Label : rosette formation;
MeSH definition : The in vitro formation of clusters consisting of a cell (usually a lymphocyte) surrounded
by antigenic cells or antigen-bearing particles (usually erythrocytes, which may or
may not be coated with antibody or antibody and complement). The rosette-forming cell
may be an antibody-forming cell, a memory cell, a T-cell, a cell bearing surface cytophilic
antibodies, or a monocyte possessing Fc receptors. Rosette formation can be used to
identify specific populations of these cells.;
MeSH synonym : formation, rosette; rosette formations; formations, rosette; immunocytoadherence; immunocytoadherences;
MeSH annotation : an immunol technique;
Origin ID : D012397;
UMLS CUI : C0035864;
