Read PBMC cell annotation reference
read_pbmc_reference.RdThis function reads the cell annotation reference data from the pixelatorR package's extdata directory. This data contains 720 annotated PBMC components with their corresponding counts of 158 proteins. The annotation has been performed at two levels of granularity: "celltype.l1" (broad categories) and "celltype.l2" (more specific subtypes). When loading the data through this function, a Seurat object is created with the counts data stored in the "PNA" assay and the cell annotations included in the metadata.
