A lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell (leukocyte) in the immune system of most vertebrates. [1] Lymphocytes include T cells (for cell-mediated and cytotoxic adaptive immunity), B cells (for humoral, antibody-driven adaptive immunity), [2] [3] and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs; "innate T cell-like" cells involved in mucosal immunity and homeostasis), of which natural killer cells are an ...
Neutrophil to Lymphocyte ratio was first demonstrated as useful parameter after a correlation of a relationship between the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio to reactions of the immune response was noted.
[8] [9] They are an important prognostic factor in melanoma and higher levels being associated with a better outcome. [31] [32] [9] TILs are also associated with better outcomes in epithelial ovarian cancer. [7] [9] The use of TILs to treat other tumor types, including lung, ovarian, bladder, and breast, are under investigation.
Lymphocyte homing receptors are cell adhesion molecules [1] expressed on lymphocyte cell membranes that recognize addressins on target tissues. Lymphocyte homing refers to adhesion of the circulating lymphocytes in blood to specialized endothelial cells within lymphoid organs. [2]
[3] [8] Leprosy has a low pathogenicity, and 95% of people who contract or who are exposed to M. leprae do not develop the disease. [9] Spread is likely through a cough or contact with fluid from the nose of a person infected by leprosy. [8] [9] Genetic factors and immune function play a role in how easily a person catches the disease.
Mechanism of class-switch recombination that allows isotype switching in activated B cells. Immunoglobulin class switching, also known as isotype switching, isotypic commutation or class-switch recombination (CSR), is a biological mechanism that changes a B cell's production of immunoglobulin from one type to another, such as from the isotype IgM to the isotype IgG.
