T cells, also known as T lymphocytes, are the immune cells that drive the cellular immune response. There are several different types of T cells, each playing a distinct role. The functions of T cells ...

The body has an intricate system to defend against infections where each type of immune cell plays a distinct role. Now, a study led by researchers from the Penn State College of Medicine has ...

Researchers from the School of Veterinary Medicine and Perelman School of Medicine have found that YY1 knockout pro-B cells can generate T lineage cells helping B cells produce antibodies. Development ...

A new study reveals how Epstein–Barr virus reprogrammes B cells into autoimmune drivers, uncovering a direct mechanism linking EBV infection to lupus development.

By profiling over 16 million immune cells from people aged 22 to 65 after flu vaccination, scientists discovered that memory T cell function changes with age.

The immune system is made up of different types of cells, which have different roles in protecting the body from infection. One type of immune cell called a B cell creates antibodies that attack ...

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...

It develops from the abnormal multiplication of T cells, or T-lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell essential for immune system function. The specific treatment course and prognosis for T-cell ...
