Naïve cells are non-active lymphocytes that recognize and bind to specific antigens, become activated, and launch target attacks against foreign pathogens.
The increase in white blood cell (WBC) counts, neutrophil-lymphopenia ratio (NLR) and T lymphopenia, and decline in the number of monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, B cells, T cells, NK cells, memory helper T cells, and regulatory T cells (Tregs) have been reported in the patients with ...
Live BCG and most of its subcomponents (with the exception of cytosol, PstS-2 and -3) significantly enhanced IFN- and IL-12 secretion, expanded CD3–CD56+ cells and the non-MHC-restricted cytotoxicity against bladder tumor cells compared to unstimulated controls (all P t-test). IL-2 ...

Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) (a modification of PUVA treatment) in which white blood cells are separated out, then combined with a photoactive drug, exposed to ultraviolet light to “activate” the medicine, and reinfused back into the patient Rituximab, for musculoskeletal and skin chronic ...
the appearance of the nucleus, certain cellular proteins, and the shape or “normal anatomy” of the cell, which is called the cell’s morphology. Other aspects of disease stand out to the observer only when the suspect cells are seen in the context of “the whole neighborhood” of cells....

in age-related diseases and it exhibits context-dependent pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory properties via distinct signaling pathways [30]. It has been called the ‘gerontologist’s cytokine’ since 1993 [21]. The levels of IL-6 are generally low in the blood, and serum IL-6 levels are...
The importance of Treg cells are further highlighted by (i) increased inflammation due to loss of IL-10, (ii) increased colitis due to impaired transforming growth factor-beta one (TGF-β1) signal transduction, (iii) impaired Treg cell function due to mutations in CD25 and IL-10, and (...
The cell surface markers important to test for in flow cytometry (at a minimum) are CD3, CD4 with CD45RA (a marker for naive T cells) plus CD62L (or CD31), CD45RO, CD8, CD16 and CD20. Screening for primary immunodeficiency diseases and follow-up testing Flow cytometry of peripheral ...
