  2. B cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_cell

    Of the three B cell subsets, FO B cells preferentially undergo T cell-dependent activation while MZ B cells and B1 B cells preferentially undergo T cell-independent activation. [ 16 ] B cell activation is enhanced through the activity of CD21 , a surface receptor in complex with surface proteins CD19 and CD81 (all three are collectively known ...

  3. 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]

  4. Effector cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effector_cell

    The muscle, gland or organ cell capable of responding to a stimulus at the terminal end of an efferent nerve fiber; Plasma cell, an effector B cell in the immune system; Effector T cells, T cells that actively respond to a stimulus; Cytokine-induced killer cells, strongly productive cytotoxic effector cells that are capable of lysing tumor ...

  5. T cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_cell

    T cells are one of the important types of white blood cells of the immune system and play a central role in the adaptive immune response. T cells can be distinguished from other lymphocytes by the presence of a T-cell receptor (TCR) on their cell surface. T cells are born from hematopoietic stem cells, [1] found in the bone marrow.

  6. Memory B cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_B_cell

    These cells generally reside in the peritoneal cavity. When reintroduced to antigen, some of these B1 cells can differentiate into memory B cells without interacting with a T cell. [4] These B cells produce IgM antibodies to help clear infection. [20] T-bet memory B cells. T-bet B cells are a subset that have been found to express the ...

  7. 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 ]

  8. Nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nervous_system

    The enteric nervous system functions to control the gastrointestinal system. Nerves that exit from the brain are called cranial nerves while those exiting from the spinal cord are called spinal nerves. The nervous system consists of nervous tissue which, at a cellular level, is defined by the presence of a special type of cell, called the ...

  9. Regulatory B cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_B_cell

    Regulatory B cells (Bregs or B reg cells) represent a small population of B cells that participates in immunomodulation and in the suppression of immune responses. The population of Bregs can be further separated into different human or murine subsets such as B10 cells, marginal zone B cells, Br1 cells, GrB + B cells, CD9 + B cells, and even some plasmablasts or plasma cells.
