Term Name: basophil progenitor cell
Synonyms: BaP, basophilic stem cell, CFU-Bas, colony forming unit basophil
Definition: A progenitor cell committed to the basophil lineage. This cell lacks hematopoietic lineage markers (lin-negative) and is CD34-positive, T1/ST2-low, CD117-negative, and FceRIa-high. This cell also expresses Gata-1, Gata-2 and C/EBPa.
