The NIAID sponsored a Cell Ontology Workshop, May 13-14, 2008, in Bethesda, focusing on improving representation of immune cell types in the Cell Ontology. The participants in the workshop worked together to extend the current ontology in the area of immune cell types and to provide the necessary information for the upcoming restructuring of the Cell Ontology in single-inheritance form with genus-differentia definitions.

Immune Protein List (excel)

An Excel spreadsheet of current immune and hematopoietic cell types in the Cell Ontology can be found here. This spreadsheet has columns for additional descriptive information for the existing immune cell types that participants are invited to fill in as they like: proper is_a parent, morphology, surface markers, transcription factors, location, role or process, and lineage. This information will be used in constructing formal definitions for these cell types.
