  2. Lymphocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphocyte

    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 ...

  3. Type 3 innate lymphoid cells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_3_innate_lymphoid_cells

    ILC3 cells produce cytokines typical for the population of Th17 helper lymphocytes. The characteristic feature of ILC3 is the expression of the RORγt transcription factor, which is needed for its development and expression of the chemokine receptor CCR6. [2] This group of ILC produces IL-17 (especially IL-17A) [4] and IL-22. [5]

  4. Innate lymphoid cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innate_lymphoid_cell

    The coordinated expression of these specific transcription factors activate or repress target genes critical in the differentiation of the lymphocyte subsets. [27] In particular, Nfil3, whose expression is regulated by cytokines, controls the differentiation of ILCs via the transcription factors Id2, RORγt, Eomes, and Tox . [ 29 ]

  5. Intraepithelial lymphocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraepithelial_lymphocyte

    IELs are mainly T cells with mixture of subsets. They are divided into two groups – conventional and unconventional IELs. [4] In mice both groups are retained in almost equal proportions. [5] In humans, the majority of IELs are alpha beta T cells. 15% of IELs are gamma delta T cells and thus represent a minor component of human IELs.

  6. White blood cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_blood_cell

    The number of leukocytes in the blood is often an indicator of disease, and thus the white blood cell count is an important subset of the complete blood count. The normal white cell count is usually between 4 × 10 9 /L and 1.1 × 10 10 /L. In the US, this is usually expressed as 4,000 to 11,000 white blood cells per microliter of blood. [7]

  8. Lymphokine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphokine

    Circulating lymphocytes can detect a very small concentration of lymphokine and then move up the concentration gradient towards where the immune response is required. Lymphokines aid B cells to produce antibodies. Important lymphokines secreted by the T helper cell include: [2] Interleukin 2; Interleukin 3; Interleukin 4; Interleukin 5 ...

  9. B1 cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B1_cell

    B1 cells are a sub-class of B cell lymphocytes that are involved in the humoral immune response.They are not part of the adaptive immune system, as they have no memory, but otherwise, B1 cells perform many of the same roles as other B cells: making antibodies against antigens and acting as antigen-presenting cells.
