Cell type descriptions

To establish a reference dataset, we carefully curated, clustered, and labeled our PBMC dataset. The result is a 3-level hierarchical labeling scheme that identified 9 broad classes, 29 intermediate cell types, and 71 high resolution cell types.

For additional details, see the subsections that describe labeling, show key markers, and provide UMAP projections:
