LYMPHOCYTES are my very favorite mates, and should be yours too - i love them like my own family because they are my family - they fight for me & take care of me every minute of every day and when i die, we both die together.
just because i cant talk to my lymphocytes via language i can talk to them through my health - for its these guys, my lymphycte family that cleans up the cancer my cell division makes every day from the daily carcinogens that are wanting to turn me into a big tumor on two legs.
now my lymphocyte family, my ass kicking cancer flue-jetzoo fighters were all born from my inside my gooey bone marrow - the core of my bones.
im going to be working on the info in this discussion to make it really simple to teach you about your lymphocytes and how the 801010 diet takes care of your lymphocyte family.
Lymphocytes are born in the bone marrow, the spongy, red tissue in the inner part of the large bones. Lymphocytes are found in the blood, lymph nodes, and spleen. There are three different types of lymphocytes: T cells, B cells, and natural killer (NK) cells. Generally, T cells fight infections by activating other cells in the immune system and by destroying infected cells, B cells make antibodies, and NK cells fight microbial cells and cancer cells.
----------------------WORK IN PROGRESS BELOW ----------------------
LYMPHOCYTES
Lymphocytes are a sub set of the Leukocyte family (white blood cells).
B lymphocytes - Bcells make antibodies to kill viruses & bacteria they are our pharmacy.
T lymphocytes - 2 types of T cells - Helper T cells Th, Cytotoxic T cells Tc
Helper Tcells Th are the alarm,
Cytotixic Tcells Tc are cell killers, they are the independant ninja assassins, the go out and kill your damaged cells that have been infiltrated by bacteria or are cancerous.
all three lymphocytes are born from my bone marrow - Bcells ThCells TcCells
macrophages are workers for B cell lymphocytes and eat bateria but they are blind, they need the Bcells to show them where to go and what to eat.
Dendritic cells are phagocytes - its a garbage guts that goes around eating bacteria & viruses - it sticks part of the body part of a bad bacteria/virus that its chewed up on its outside which advertises to the Th helper come over here, check this bad dude out and go get them.
when this happeneds the Th helper cell well then make copies of himself - two types of copies, one are effector Th with no memory the other are Th with memory.
Dendritic cells takes things in, cuts them up and presents it on its surface as these MHC II proteins - once this is done the Th is activated .
* Naive Th Helper Tcell is one thats never been reacted by a dendritic cell before.
* Effector Th helper Tcell - non memory tcell raises the alarm by releasing cytokines.
* Memory Th helper Tcell - carreis memory of the viruis, bacteria or cancer.
* Cytokines - are simply a protein or polypeptide chemical released by effector Th, their job is to raise the alarm, to chemically communicate to cytotoxic Tcells Tc to get into gear & Bcells to keep producing our chemical antibodies.

T cells are born from bone marrow but mature in the thymus
smoking has got to effect the production & quality of t cell lymphocytes.
two types of killer zones - bacteria out of a cell and bacteria thats penetrated a cell.
if the bacteria is out of the cell the lymphocyte will eat it up but if the bacteria has penetrated the cell then the cell has to be killed even though its one of our own, that takes longer, the lymphocyte needs to inject its hydrogen peroxide (yeah hair bleach) into the cell and kill it, then that cell has to be shat out through our bums as toxic waste.
The three major types of lymphocyte are T cells, B cells and natural killer (NK) cells.
[edit]Natural killer cells
Main article: Natural killer cell
NK cells are a part of the innate immune system and play a major role in defending the host from both tumors and virally infected cells. NK cells distinguish infected cells and tumors from normal and uninfected cells by recognizing changes of a surface molecule called MHC (major histocompatibility complex) class I. NK cells are activated in response to a family of cytokines called interferons. Activated NK cells release cytotoxic (cell-killing) granules which then destroy the altered cells.[2] They were named "natural killer cells" because of the initial notion that they do not require prior activation in order to kill cells which are missing MHC class I.
[edit]T cells and B cells
Main articles: T cell and B cell
T cells (thymus cells) and B cells (bursa-derived cells[3]) are the major cellular components of the adaptive immune response. T cells are involved in cell-mediated immunity whereas B cells are primarily responsible for humoral immunity (relating to antibodies). The function of T cells and B cells is to recognize specific “non-self” antigens, during a process known as antigen presentation. Once they have identified an invader, the cells generate specific responses that are tailored to maximally eliminate specific pathogens or pathogen infected cells. B cells respond to pathogens by producing large quantities of antibodies which then neutralize foreign objects like bacteria and viruses. In response to pathogens some T cells, called T helper cells, produce cytokines that direct the immune response while other T cells, called cytotoxic T cells, produce toxic granules that contain powerful enzymes which induce the death of pathogen infected cells. Following activation, B cells and T cells leave a lasting legacy of the antigens they have encountered, in the form of memory cells. Throughout the lifetime of an animal these memory cells will “remember” each specific pathogen encountered, and are able to mount a strong and rapid response if the pathogen is detected again.

Antigen-presenting cells |
Cells which do not have antigen-specific receptors. Instead, they capture and process antigens, present them to T cell receptors. These cells include macrophages, dentritic cells and B cells. |
B cells |
Also known as B cell lymphocytes.
B cells spend their entire early life in the bone marrow. Upon maturity, their job is to travel throughout the blood and lymph looking for antigens with which they can interlock.
Once a B cell has identified an antigen, it starts replicating itself. These cloned cells mature into antibody-manufacturing plasma cells. |
Basophils |
Similar to mast cells, but distributed throughout the body. Like mast cells, basophils release histamine upon encountering certain antigens, thereby triggering an allergic reaction. |
Cytotoxic T cells |
Also called cytotoxic T lymphocytes or CTLs.
|
Dendritic cells |
Mostly found in the skin and mucosal epithelium, where they are referred to as Langerhan's cells. Unlike macrophages, dendritic cells can also recognize viral particles as non-self. In addition, they can present antigens via both MHC I and MHC II, and can thus activate both CD8 and CD4 T cells, directly. |
Granulocytes |
Leukocytes (white blood cells) containing granules in the cytoplasm. Also known as a granular leukocyte. They seem to act as a first line of defense, as they rush toward an infected area and engulf the offending microbes. Granulocytes kill microbes by digesting them with killer enzymes contained in small units called lysosomes. |
Helper T cells |
These cells travel through the blood and lymph, looking for antigens (such as those captured byantigen-presenting cells). Upon locating an antigen, they notify other cells to assist in combating the invader.
This is sometimes done through the use ofcytokines (or specifically, lymphokines) which help destroy target cells and stimulate the production of healthy new tissue. Interferon is an example of such a cytokine. |
Leukocytes |
White blood cells. These are the cells which provide immunity, and they can be subdivided into three classes: lymphocytes, granulocytes and monocytes |
Lymphocytes |
Small white blood cells which are responsible for much of the work of the immune system. Lymphocytes can be divided into three classes: B cells, T cells and null cells. |
Macrophages |
Literally, “large eaters.” These are large, long-lived phagocytes which capture foreign cells, digest them, and present protein fragments (peptides) from these cells and manifest them on their exterior. In this manner, they present the antigens to the T cells.
Macrophages are strategically located in lymphoid tissues, connective tissues and body cavities, where they are likely to encounter antigens. They also act as effector cells in cell-mediated immunity. |
Mast cells |
Cells concentrated within the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, and within the deep layers of the skin. These cells release histamine upon encountering certain antigens, thereby triggering an allergic reaction. |
Memory cells |
Specialized B cells which grant the body the ability to manufacture more of a particular antibody as needed, in case a particular antigen is ever encountered again. |
Monocytes |
Large, agranular leukocytes with relatively small, eccentric, oval or kidney-shaped nuclei. |
Plasma cells |
Specialized B cells which churn out antibodies—more than two thousand per second. Most of these die after four to five days; however, a few survive to become memory cells. |
Also known as T cell lymphocytes.
Unlike B cells, these cells leave the marrow at an early age and travel to the thymus, where they mature. Here they are imprinted with critical information for recognizing “self” and “non-self” substances.
Among the subclasses of T cells are helper T cellsand cytotoxic (or killer) T cells. |
