Members of a type of white blood cells; regulate and participate in a wide variety of immune responses.
White blood cells that patrol the body to eliminate infected and cancerous cells and foreign materials. T-cells are named after the thymus gland, where they mature.
lymphocytes that develop in the thymus.
Are white blood cells, derived from the thymus gland, that participate in a variety of cell medicated immune reactions.
white blood cells that mature in the thymus. Their job is to help organize or directly participate in the immune defenses.
A type of lymphocyte that matures in the thymus and binds on to a specific antigen if it encounters it in the body
A type of T cell involved in protecting against viral, fungal, and protozoal infections. These cells normally orchestrate the immune response, signaling other cells in the immune system to perform their special functions. Also known as T helper cells. HIV's preferred targets. Destruction of CD4+ cells is the major cause of the immunodeficiency observed in AIDS. Lab work is done at specific intervals to measure the number of CD4 cells in circulation.
Lymphocytes involved in cellular immunity. By recognizing antigen on cancer cells, killer T Cells causetumor destruction.
A type of lymphocyte involved in the cellular immune response. The final stages of its development occur in the thymus gland.
T-lymphocytes, or thymus derived cells
white blood cells, manufactured in the thymus, which protect the body from bacteria, viruses, and cancer causing agents, while controlling the production of B-cells, which produce antibodies, and unwanted production of potentially harmful T-cells.
Part of the immune system, these cells attack antibodies, foreign substances, in the body. In the bodies of Type 1 Diabetes sufferers they also attack the islets of the pancreas responsible for insulin production.
immune system cells that develop in the thymus gland. Findings suggest that T-cells are implicated in myelin destruction.
White blood cells that are primarily involved in cell-mediated immunity, as well as in the control of B-cell function.
Small white blood cells that orchestrate and/or directly participate in the immune defenses. Also known as T lymphocytes, they are processed in the thymus and secrete lymphokines.
A specific subset of white blood cells with a pivotal role in immune defense.
this is short for T-helper lymphocytes or CD4-lymphocytes; these cells are the immune system cells that are killed by HIV
a type of white blood cell that plays an important role in regulating the immune system.
White blood cells that are part of the immune system.
white blood cells which facilitate the immune system.
Immune cells that attach themselves to other cells
lymphocytes that are processed in the thymus, an organ in the chest. They are responsible, in part, for carrying out the immune response.
A type of white blood cells that are involved in rejecting foreign tissue, regulating immunity, and controlling the production of antibodies to fight infection.
One type of white blood cell that attacks virus-infected cells, foreign cells, and cancer cells. T cells also produce a number of substances that regulate the immune response.
(thymus derived cells) White blood cells that are important in the body's immune system. Also know as T-lymphocytes, they mature in the thymus.
immunity, and releasing cytokines to help control the production of antibodies to fight infection. T-cells are also called T lymphocytes. Originating in the thymus, they are responsible for Cell-Mediated Immune Responses. Helper T-Cells prime both Antibody-mediated and Cell-mediated effectors for the attack, while Suppressors await the signal to change, slow, or end the assault. Natural Killer Cells (NK) - recognize classes of cells and destroy tumor cells on contact.
Also called T-lymphocytes, T-cells are white blood cells that participate in immune reactions. Three fundamentally different types of T-cells are recognized: helper, killer, and suppressor. They are responsible for finding infected cells.
