Lymphocyte

Foundation (2012), B lymphocyte help to protect the body’s immune system from germs by producing antibodies. They attach to the germ and alert other cells to kills the bacteria. T lymphocytes have a number of different jobs. Some destroy cells infected with bacteria, viruses or fungi. Others release a substance to attract other cells to fight the infection. T lymphocytes can also boost and/or slow the activity of immune system cells. Lymphoma occurs when these lymphocytes (B and T) become…

Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes too many immature lymphocytes (a type of whit blood cell). Leukemia may affect red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Past treatment for cancer and certain genetic conditions affect the risk of having childhood all. Signs of childhood all include fever and bruising. Tests that examine the blood and bone marrow are used to detect and diagnose childhood all. Certain factors affect prognosis…

cellularity, lymphocyte-rich and lymphocyte-depleted. The lymphocytes always divides to make new lymphocytes. When fighting an infection, lots of new lymphocytes are made very quickly, but only those that are very specific for the target infection are useful to the immune system and the other lymphocytes will usually die, which means only useful lymphocytes survive. Lymphomas occurs when there is a breakdown of this function of the lymphatic system, instead of the unwanted lymphocytes dying…

IL-2 influences the proliferation of T lymphocytes and activation of B lymphocytes. IL-4 helps to differentiate B lymphocytes into plasma cells secret IgE. With TNF-α, IL-4 regulates the expression of both high- and low-affinity IgE receptor on antigen presenting cells. IL-5 activates B lymphocytes and helps in the differentiation of eosinophils, and IL-6 causes B lymphocytes to increase the synthesis and…

lymphatic system works to protect the body to stop it getting an infection or a virus it does this with the help of cells such as lymphocytes which travels in between the nodes through channels called lymphatic, which meet ducts that empty into blood vessels this is how the lymphocytes enter the blood. There are 3 types of lymphocytes; B-lymphocytes (B-cells), T-lymphocytes (T-cells), Natural killer (NK) cells each of these react differently to kill and remove microbes. The lymphatic system is…

Monocytes and Lymphocytes pass into lymph where they perform protective processes. For example, monocytes change into macrophages, destroy pathogens, and collect debris while the lymphocytes work more with the immune system. Lymph and lymph nodes filters fluid before it is returned back to the heart. The lymphocytes defend against potentially harmful microorganisms by acting to rid the body of any harmful agents before…

that contain cells like lymphocytes and macrophages. These organs are…

such as celiac disease. This article discusses the role of GALT in relation to different allergies. GALT is able to induce immunotolerance mechanisms to food proteins commonly introduced in different diets (3). It further discusses the role of the lymphocytes Th1 (T helper cell) and T regulatory cells in the immunotolerance mechanism of GALT. This article highlights the role of GALT during allergies and GI tract…

Lymphocytes are found in the blood stream and at sites of infections but are found in two different forms that have many similarities and differences. They are both a type of white blood cell and are formed from stem cells (Toole and Toole 2008) but then mature into different cells known as T lymphocytes (T cells) and B lymphocytes (B cells). T cells mature in the thymus with cell surface molecules TCR and CD3 and release lymphokines, whereas, B cells mature in the bone marrow with cell surface…

damaged and cause defects in your body that can have lifelong effects on your standard of living. Two diseases in particular are caused by a malfunction in the lymphatic system and they are called Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a disease caused by mutation in B lymphocytes and Elephantiasis, caused by a parasitic worm carried and transferred by mosquitos. Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a cancerous disease with origins that are still relatively unknown but is understood…
