  2. List of immune cells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_immune_cells

    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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. 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]

  5. 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]

  6. Memory T cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_T_cell

    Specific to T RM lymphocytes are genes involved in lipid metabolism, being highly active, roughly 20- to 30-fold more active than in other types of T-cells. [22] Virtual memory T cells (T VM) differ from the other memory subsets in that they do not originate following a strong clonal expansion event. Thus, although this population as a whole is ...

  7. Peripheral blood mononuclear cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_blood...

    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.

  8. List of human clusters of differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_human_clusters_of...

    Lymphocyte Activation Gene 3 (LAG3), an inhibitory (checkpoint) receptor on immune system T-cells. LAG3 is the target of early-stage drugs for cancer and autoimmune disorders; IMP321 is a soluble version of LAG3, developed by Prima, while BMS-986016 (from Bristol Myers) and GSK2831781 (Glaxo) are anti-LAG3 monoclonal antibodies.

  9. Gamma delta T cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_delta_T_cell

    A recent study has identified a specific subset of gut-resident Vδ1 IELs (intraepithelial lymphocytes) which express high levels of a natural cytotoxic receptor (NCR) which is NKp46. These receptors are expressed almost exclusively by natural killer (NK) cells and play a central role in triggering their activation, but it has been described ...
