effector lymphocyte
1effector cell — n a lymphocyte (as a T cell) that has been induced to differentiate into a form (as a cytotoxic T cell) capable of mounting a specific immune response called also effector lymphocyte * * * 1. a cell that becomes active in response to stimulation …
2Effector — may refer to: *An actuator, in robotics * Effector (album), a music album by the Experimental Techno group Download *Effector cell, a type of lymphocyte in immunology *Effector (biology), a small molecule that binds to a macromolecule *Effector… …
3Lymphocyte T-Cell Immune Modulator — (LTCI, Lymphocyte T Cell Immunomodulator) is an immune regulating polypeptide. Lymphocyte T Cell Immune Modulator is a potent regulator of CD 4 lymphocyte production and function. It has been shown to increase lymphocyte numbers and Interleukin 2 …
4Effector cell — Effector cells are a type of lymphocyte that are actively engaged in secreting antibodies. The clonal selection theory stipulates that when naïve cells encounter antigens for the first time, they are stimulated to proliferate and differentiate… …
5lymphocyte activation — (= lymphocyte transformation) The change in morphology and behaviour of lymphocytes exposed to a mitogen or to an antigen to which they have been primed. The result is the production of lymphoblasts, cells that are actively engaged in protein… …
6Lymphocyte — A lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell in the vertebrate immune system. By their appearance under the light microscope, there are two broad categories of lymphocytes, namely the large granular lymphocytes and the small lymphocytes.… …
7lymphocyte — A white blood cell formed in lymphatic tissue throughout the body ( e.g., lymph node s, spleen, thymus, tonsils, Peyer patches, and sometimes in bone marrow) and in …
8lymphocyte activation — stimulation of lymphocytes by specific antigen or nonspecific mitogens resulting in macromolecular synthesis (RNA, protein, and DNA) and production of lymphokines; it is followed by proliferation and differentiation of the progeny into various… …
9amplifier T lymphocyte — a T lymphocyte that modifies a developing immune response by releasing nonspecific signals to which other T lymphocytes (either effector or suppressor cells) respond …
10immune system — Anat. a diffuse, complex network of interacting cells, cell products, and cell forming tissues that protects the body from pathogens and other foreign substances, destroys infected and malignant cells, and removes cellular debris: the system… …
