white blood cells called regulatory T cells.
Lymph is the clear liquid that flows through the lymphatic vessels and contains
white blood cells called lymphocytes.
White blood cells called macrophages destroy germs as soon as they detect them.
One important communication chemical — called tissue factor — is produced by the blood vessels and by a type of
white blood cells called monocytes.
Other
white blood cells called lymphocytes deliver a second punch in the attack, known as acquired immunity.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by a rapidly - developing cancer in the myeloid line of blood cells, which is responsible for producing red blood cells, platelets and several types of
white blood cells called granulocytes.
It's long been thought that
white blood cells called macrophages destroy viruses at the site of an infection, like a mosquito bite.
When a new bacterium or virus invades the body, the immune system mounts an attack by sending in
white blood cells called T - cells that are tailored to the molecular structure of that invader.
The saliva triggers an immune response in which
white blood cells called neutrophils and myeloid cells rush to the site.
The immune system protects us from scores of invaders, but it can also turn against us when
white blood cells called autoimmune T cells attack the body's own tissue.
These problems are caused by a type of
white blood cells called T cells that, after becoming activated, find their way into the brain and attack the protective covering — myelin — of neurons in the brain and spinal cord, causing inflammation and damage to the central nervous system.
«The protein Smurf1 functions in specialized
white blood cells called macrophages in both mice and humans, thereby suggesting a conserved evolutionary pathway,» said Dr. Shiloh, co-senior author of the study along with Dr. Beth Levine, Director of the University's Center for Autophagy Research.
One reason the bacterium has survived for so long is that it has developed a sophisticated mechanism for hiding in the body: it resides in
white blood cells called macrophages, the very cells that would normally kill it.
Researchers looking at
the white blood cells called eosinophils found a new weapon in the immune arsenal: toxic webs of DNA flung in less than a second by a kind of cellular catapult.
They looked at
white blood cells called monocytes, a major cell type involved in rheumatoid arthritis, and found that those cells behaved differently in one group than in the other.
It is a fast - growing cancer that starts in
white blood cells called B cells, and it is often successfully treated with chemotherapy.
Heart tissue from that individual revealed infiltration of
white blood cells called eosinophils.
The study involved 23 patients with relapsed or treatment - resistant HL, a cancer of
white blood cells called lymphocytes.
This process helps to form both a bacteria - killing NET — which is comprised of infection - combatting
white blood cells called neutrophils — and the fluffy, scattered ball that comprises a blood clot.
«Our data clearly showed that one of the protein receptors on
white blood cells called CXCR3 brings white blood cells to the optic nerve in response to production of its binding partner CXCL10 by damaged nerve tissue,» said Zhang.
The enzyme is produced by
white blood cells called neutrophils, which play an important role in inflammatory and immune responses and may be a key contributor to the development of muscular dystrophy.
White blood cells called T - cells tend to attack a wider range of invaders than antibodies.
Phagocytosis is a process by which
white blood cells called macrophages digest cellular debris and foreign bodies and particles.
The most common adverse side effects were lymphopenia (a condition of abnormally low levels of
white blood cells called lymphocytes), neutropenia, blood platelet deficiency, and infection.
