The following is a partial list of the "A" codes for Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), as defined by the United States National Library of Medicine (NLM).. This list continues the information at List of MeSH codes (A14).
Lymphocyte: B cell: MBC; 8-10 Memorizes the characteristics of the antigens; Triggers an accelerated and robust secondary immune response [4] [16] Killer T cell: Lymphocyte: T cell: T lymphocyte; Lymphocytus T; 8-10 Virus-infected cells; Cancer cells; Recruits and communicates with other types of immune cells [4] [17] Memory T cell: Lymphocyte ...
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]
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 ...
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.
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 ]
A peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) is any peripheral blood cell having a round nucleus. [1] These cells consist of lymphocytes (T cells, B cells, NK cells) and monocytes, whereas erythrocytes and platelets have no nuclei, and granulocytes (neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils) have multi-lobed nuclei.
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 ...
