Lymphocyte

Toll like receptors (TLRs) are a class of proteins, which play an important role in the innate immune system. They are usually single, they usually span the entire membrane and are expressed on sentinel cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages, which recognize structurally conserved molecules derived from microbes. When the microbe breaches the physical barriers of the body like skin or intestinal mucosa, the TLRs recognize them and initiate an immune response. The TLRs include TLR1, TLR2,…

represents the largest mass of lymphoid tissue in the body and 60-70% of the body’s immune system exists in the GALT. Red bone marrow makes red blood cells and leukocytes, which are white blood cells that are part of the immune system. Two types of lymphocytes exist, B-cells and T-cells. Pre-B and pre-T cells originate from stem cells in red bone marrow. The pre-B cells remain in the red bone marrow and become B cells. The pre-T cells circulate to the thymus where they become T cells. Both B…

Hippocrates is considered the father of medicine, and it turns out the guy was right about a lot of things. For instance, he is known for having claimed that “All disease begins in the gut.” These words were spoken 2,500 years ago, and today’s scientists are just beginning to understand how right he was. As it turns out, poor gut health can absolutely hinder thyroid function and trigger autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s disease. Leaky Gut and Autoimmune Response The human GI tract…

refill, skin turgor, peripheral pulses, and mucous membranes, and administer IV fluids as prescribed and encourage fluid intake. Her third nursing diagnosis is she is at risk for infection related to inadequate secondary defense’s evidence by low lymphocyte counts (Wittmann, 2013). Three nursing interventions for this diagnosis include monitor her temperature, monitor lab values like the ANC, and require good hand washing techniques for personnel and visitors. Goals for her are to report maximum…

Why is math important? Some people cringe when math is mentioned, but whether they favor it or not, numbers can’t be avoided. Math is present everywhere whether it be cooking, shopping, creating, caring for others or etc. According to the history, counting supposedly started right after the development of language. Egyptians had used Egyptian system around 3000-1600 BC which they wrote 10 as ^ and 13 as III^. This system was adapted by the Romans in their roman numerals. Egyptians also has the…

T cells are a type of white blood cell that is made in the bone marrow. These T cells are a part of the immune system which is meant to keep you from getting sick and helps to prevent diseases. Some people have a stronger immune system than others, and that means that they have either more white blood cells or lots of good bacteria, or both. This has been a very interesting subject for me, and I had a lot of fun researching it. Body System Most Affected The body system that is most affected by…

In the journal article, there is an evaluation in the study of CD45RO+ memory Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study can have a great impact on today 's problem because lung cancer is considered to be one of the most lethal malignancy around the world. To find the most reliable guidelines for treatments, the TNM classification is the best determinant because it uses a combined data on tumor burden, cancer cells in regional lymph nodes and…

immunodeficiency and a potentially fatal primary immunodeficiency in which there is combined absence of T-lymphocyte and B-lymphocyte function” (Immune Deficiency Foundation IDF, 2016). The lymphatic system comprises of organs and tissue that produce immune cells and one of their main functions is to confer immunity to every part of the body. The function of the T-lymphocyte and B-lymphocyte in the lymphatic immune system cannot be overstressed as they make up the major responses that the immune…
