Standard values In adults, T-lymphocytes usually make up 70% of the total number of lymphocytes in the blood. However, fluctuations between 55% and 85% are also within the normal range in absolute terms. This means that the normal value is between 390 and 2300 cells per microliter. Small fluctuations are quite natural. For example, the … Standard values | T lymphocytes
Definition T-lymphocytes are cells of the immune system and can be found in the blood. The blood is composed of blood cells and blood plasma. The blood cells are further divided into erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells) & thrombocytes (blood platelets). T lymphocytes are a component of white blood cells and can … T lymphocytes
Causes of an increase in T lymphocytes Causes for an increased T-lymphocyte count can be various diseases. If an infection occurs, the lymphocytes multiply via the aforementioned mechanisms and, as a consequence, enter the bloodstream in increased numbers. The proportion of T lymphocytes can then be determined by blood laboratory tests. The standard value of … Causes of an increase in T lymphocytes | T lymphocytes
Cytotoxic T cells Cytotoxic T cells are a subgroup of T lymphocytes and thus belong to the acquired immune system. Their task is to identify infected cells within the organism and to kill them by the fastest possible means. Like the remaining T-lymphocytes, they are formed in the bone marrow, then migrate into the thymus, … Cytotoxic T cells | T lymphocytes
Introduction The immune system performs the function of a “police force” in the body: it fights off potentially harmful pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, parasites and worms, thus ensuring the survival of the body’s cells. It consists of many individual cell types that interact with each other in a complex way to recognize pathogens and … Which home remedies strengthen the immune system?
This sport strengthens your immune system Sports, especially endurance sports such as swimming, jogging or cycling, have been proven to strengthen the immune system. How exactly sport does this is not entirely clear. One explanation is that the lymphatic fluid is better transported by muscle movements. In addition to dietary fats, the lymphatic fluid transports … This sport strengthens your immune system | Which home remedies strengthen the immune system?
Vaccinations A vaccination strengthens the immune system in much the same way as an exercise for an emergency: components of pathogens or attenuated pathogens are injected into the body, usually by means of an injection into the muscle, which then elicits an appropriate immune response. This immune response is significantly weaker than in an actual … Vaccinations | Which home remedies strengthen the immune system?

Tasks of the immune system The immune system is the body’s defense system. Its task is to fend off pathogens, which essentially include bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. In the immune system one can distinguish between two large areas that in most cases work together. The first area describes the innate, non-specific immune system. It … Tasks of the immune system | Immune System
The acquired immune system The acquired immune system consists of two components: the so-called humoral immune response/immune system, which leads to the formation of antibodies (see below), and the cellular immune response/immune system, which leads to the destruction of the affected pathogen via so-called cytotoxic cells. The lymph cells (lymphocytes) are extremely important for the … The acquired immune system | Immune System
Importance of the immune system In the case of leukemia (white blood cancer), under chemotherapy or in the case of congenital immune system defects, the consequences for the affected patients can be serious in some cases. Affected patients often suffer recurrent and sometimes serious infections, which can also be fatal. This is particularly evident in … Importance of the immune system | Immune System
