  2. Brain cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_cell

    Brain cells make up the functional tissue of the brain. The rest of the brain tissue is the structural stroma that includes connective tissue such as the meninges , blood vessels , and ducts. The two main types of cells in the brain are neurons , also known as nerve cells, and glial cells , also known as neuroglia. [ 1 ]

  3. CD19 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD19

    CD19 is widely expressed during all phases of B cell development until terminal differentiation into plasma cells. During B cell lymphopoiesis, CD19 surface expression starts during immunoglobulin (Ig) gene rearrangement, which coincides during B lineage commitment from hematopoietic stem cell. [8]

  4. Human brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_brain

    The cells of the brain include neurons and supportive glial cells. There are more than 86 billion neurons in the brain, and a more or less equal number of other cells. Brain activity is made possible by the interconnections of neurons and their release of neurotransmitters in response to nerve impulses.

  5. T cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_cell

    T cells are grouped into a series of subsets based on their function. CD4 and CD8 T cells are selected in the thymus, but undergo further differentiation in the periphery to specialized cells which have different functions. T cell subsets were initially defined by function, but also have associated gene or protein expression patterns.

  6. Follicular B helper T cells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Follicular_B_helper_T_cells

    Follicular helper T cells (also known as T follicular helper cells and abbreviated as T FH), are antigen-experienced CD4 + T cells found in the periphery within B cell follicles of secondary lymphoid organs such as lymph nodes, spleen and Peyer's patches, and are identified by their constitutive expression of the B cell follicle homing receptor CXCR5. [1]

  7. Thymus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thymus

    Once mature, T cells emigrate from the thymus to provide vital functions in the immune system. [11] [12] Each T cell has a distinct T cell receptor, suited to a specific substance, called an antigen. [12] Most T cell receptors bind to the major histocompatibility complex on cells of the body.

  8. Interleukin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interleukin

    T lymphocytes regulate the growth and differentiation of T cells and certain B cells through the release of secreted protein factors. [12] These factors, which include interleukin 2 (IL2), are secreted by lectin- or antigen-stimulated T cells, and have various physiological effects. IL2 is a lymphokine that induces the proliferation of ...
