Studies of Lymphocyte Activation by Patch clamp (CAT#: STEM-PET-0049-WXH)

Introduction

A lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell (leukocyte) in the immune system of most vertebrates. Lymphocytes include natural killer cells (which function in cell-mediated, cytotoxic innate immunity), T cells (for cell-mediated, cytotoxic adaptive immunity), and B cells (for humoral, antibody-driven adaptive immunity). They are the main type of cell found in lymph, which prompted the name "lymphocyte". Lymphocytes make up between 18% and 42% of circulating white blood cells. High lymphocyte denotes that our system is dealing with an infection or other inflammatory condition.
