Why this annotation

Dominated by MHC class II genes (HLA-DPA1, HLA-DPB1, HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQB1, HLA-DQA1, HLA-DRA) plus the invariant chain CD74, antigen processing components (CTSS, TAPBP), and B-cell markers (CD79A). This is a clear MHC-II antigen presentation program intrinsic to B cells, which are professional antigen-presenting cells. High expression and detection, core coherence. CYBA, IL2RG, ICAM3, CD52 are also immune accessory genes.
