Lymph Nodes
Several hundred lymph nodes are scattered throughout the lymphatic system, especially in the
groin
armpits
abdomen and
neck.

There are two main types of lymphocytes: B cells, which make antibodies that attack bacteria and toxins, and T cells, which attack body cells themselves when they have been taken over by viruses or become cancerous.

Lymphocytes are much more common in the lymphatic system, and include the so-called "killer T-cells". The blood has three types of lymphocytes: B cells, T cells and natural killer cells.

lymph: a watery fluid derived from plasma that seeps out of the blood system capillaries and mingles with the cells.
lymph nodes: capsule-like bodies that contain cells that filter the lymph and phagocytize foreign particles.

Lymphatics: The lymphatics are numerous: They consist of a superficial and a deep set, and pass to the lymph glands found along the two curvatures of the organ.

lymphocytes A type of white blood cell; a component of the immune system produced by stem cells in the bone marrow.
lymphokine A molecule secreted by an activated or stimulated lymphocyte that causes physiological changes in certain other cells.

lymphocytes - are central to all adaptive immune responses, since they specifically recognize individual pathogens, whether they are inside host cells or outside in the tissue fluids or blood. Two categories are T and B cells.

lymphatic system
A system of tubules in vertebrates that drains excess tissue fluid (lymph) from the tissue spaces to the blood system.

CD20 is a B-lymphocyte-specific integral membrane protein, implicated in the regulation of transmembrane calcium conductance, cell-cycle progression and B-lymphocyte proliferation.

When we talk about lymphocytes, we can separate them into the B-lymphocyte, that makes the antibodies, and the T-lymphocyte, that can then be separated into two different subsets, one that we call CD-4 and one we call CD-8.

An immunoglobulin protein produced by B- lymphocytes of the immune system that binds to a specific antigen molecule. (See monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies.) Anticodon.

A major focus of the Celltech/MRI Mutagenesis Consortium is the use of ENU mutagenesis in mice to identify novel, clinically relevant targets in the areas of lymphocyte biology, inflammation and autoimmunity.

lymphocytes A subclass of leukocytes characterized as mononuclear, with a small amount of cytoplasm.

HIV infects a number of cell types including T-lymphocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and neurons. AIDS occurs when lymphocytes, particularly CD4+ T cells are killed off, leaving the patient unable to fight off opportunistic infections.

In the late 1860's, Friedrich Miescher isolated, from homogenates of lymph and pus cells, material that had the staining and shrinking-swelling properties of nuclei.

: A major family of small lymphocytes
that are
responsible for antigen-specific humoral immunity as part of the adaptive immunity. Their antigen receptors are surface immunoglobulins (antibodies).
Full article >>>

The genes that code for these antibodies differ from one lymphocyte to the next because when the lymphocytes are produced, different regions of the DNA are deleted so that each lymphocyte has a somewhat different version of the genes involved.
