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 ...

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]
In COVID-19 B cell, natural killer cell, and total lymphocyte counts decline, but both CD4 + and CD8 + cells decline to a far greater extent. [12] Low CD4 + predicted greater likelihood of intensive care unit admission, and CD4 + cell count was the only parameter that predicted length of time for viral RNA clearance.
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.
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 ...
Reactive lymphocyte surrounded by red blood cells. In immunology, reactive lymphocytes, variant lymphocytes, atypical lymphocytes, Downey cells or Türk cells are cytotoxic (CD8 +) lymphocytes that become large as a result of antigen stimulation. Typically, they can be more than 30 μm in diameter with varying size and shape.
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.
