Parent topics
- Immunity [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Cell-mediated immunity [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Leukocyte [r]: Colourless cells of the immune system which defend the body against both infectious disease and foreign materials, and grouped into neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes. [e]
- Monocyte [r]: Large, phagocytic mononuclear leukocytes produced in the vertebrate bone marrow and released into the blood; contain a large, oval or somewhat indented nucleus surrounded by voluminous cytoplasm and numerous organelles (Medical Subject Headings); they are the precursors of non-circulating macrophages [e]
Subtopics
- Alveolar macrophage [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Epitheloid cell [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Giant cell [r]: Multinucleated mass formed by the fusion of several distinct cells, usually in response to an infection or foreign body. [e]
- Histiocyte [r]: Macrophages found in connective tissue and bone marrow [e]
- Kupffer cell [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Osteoclast [r]: A macrophage that has become part of bone, where it is involved in bone resorption [e]
- Peritoneal macrophage [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Tissue macrophage [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Chronic inflammatory response [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Complement (immunology) [r]: According the Medical Subject Headings of the National Library of Medicine, the complement system is made up of a series of Serum glycoproteins that are part of the host defense mechanism of complement activation, which creates the "complement membrane attack complex" [e]
- Endoplasmic reticulum [r]: "a network of biological membranes inside the cytoplasm of a cell, some of which may have ribosomes attached. " [e]
- Immunoglobulin [r]: Proteins produced by lymphocytes, which are primarily antibodies to attack material the body considers hostile, although some may act as cytokines, signaling to other cells [e]
- Mannose [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Phagocytosis [r]: That part of immune response in which defensive cells such as neutrophils and macrophages surround and "digest" foreign particles [e]
