Lymphocyte (Allergy and Asthma)

Any one of a group of white blood cells of crucial importance to the adaptive part of the body's immune system.

Lymphocyte (Beauty)

White blood cell manufactured in the bone marrow, lymph, nodes, and spleen. There are two types: B cells and T cells.

Lymphocyte (Blood and Marrow Transplant)

Type of white cell that fights infections by producing antibodies and regulating the immune system response

Lymphocyte (Cancer)

(LIM-fo-site) A type of white blood cell. Lymphocytes have a number of roles in the immune system, including the production of antibodies and other substances that fight infection and diseases.

Lymphocyte (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome)

Small white blood cells that are uniform in appearance, but very diverse in function. Collectively, they are responsible for antibody production, direct cell-mediated killing of virus-infected cells and tumor cells, and for the regulation of virtually every other component of the mammalian immune system.

Lymphocyte (Dairy Production)

White blood cells, most having functions in removal of foreign bodies such as bacteria and removal of dead and dying cells.

Lymphocyte (HIV and AIDs)

Another term for a type of white blood cell; it is a broad category that includes B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes. T lymphocytes are further divided into T4 (see "CD4") and T8 (see "CD8").

Lymphocyte (Health and Beauty)

White blood cell manufactured in the bone marrow, lymph, nodes, and spleen. There are two types

Lymphocyte (Horse Health)

A type of white blood cell capable of responding to the presence of foreign material in the body; lymphocytes play a central role in directing and coordinating immune responses.

Lymphocyte (Huntingtons Disease)

A type of white blood cell that is a crucial part of the immune system.

Lymphocyte (Immunization)

Small cell with virtually no cytoplasm, found in blood, in all tissue, and in lymphoid organs, such as lymph nodes, spleen, and Peyer's patches, and bears antigen-specific receptors.

Lymphocyte (Lymphoma)

White blood cell. Lymphocytes have a number of roles in the immune system, including antibody production, attacking and destroying cancer cells, and producing substances that kill cancer cells.

Lymphocyte (Medical)

A white blood cell that is an important part of the body's immune system, helping to destroy invading microorganisms

Lymphocyte (Microbiology)

A white blood cell involved in antibody formation or cellular immune responses.

Lymphocyte (Multiple Sclerosis)

A type of white blood cell that is part of the immune system. Lymphocytes can be subdivided into two main groups: B-lymphocytes, which originate in the bone marrow and produce antibodies; T-lymphocytes, which are produced in the bone marrow and mature in the thymus. Helper T-lymphocytes heighten the production of antibodies by B-lymphocytes; suppressor T-lymphocytes suppress B-lymphocyte activity and seem to be in short supply during an MS exacerbation.

Lymphocyte (Nutrition)

A type of white blood cell found in lymph, blood, and other specialized tissues, such as bone marrow and tonsils. There are several different categories of lymphocytes. These cells are crucial components of the immune system. They are responsible for antibody production and direct attacks against invading organisms. One of these lymphocytes, a subtype of the T-lymphocyte is the primary cell infected and destroyed by HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

Lymphocyte (Prostate Cancer)

A type of white blood cell. Lymphocytes have a number of roles in the immune system, including the production of antibodies and other substances that fight infection and diseases.
