Natural Killer (NK) cells are vital immune cells that provide rapid defense against infections and cancer. They recognize and eliminate stressed or infected cells without prior sensitization, playing a key role in immunosurveillance.
White Blood Cells
Burkitt Lymphoma
Burkitt Lymphoma is a rare cancer affecting children and adults. Key symptoms include rapidly growing tumors, often in the jaw or abdomen.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy harnesses the body’s immune system to fight cancer. It offers a targeted approach with fewer side effects compared to traditional treatments, providing hope for many cancer patients
Waldenström Macroglobulinemia
Waldenström Macroglobulinemia (WM): Rare lymphoma, excess IgM. Causes fatigue, neuropathy, & hyperviscosity. Early diagnosis & tailored treatment are key.
Dendritic Cells
Dendritic cells (DCs) process antigens & present them to T cells, triggering immune responses.
Natural Killer Cells
Natural Killer (NK) cells are vital immune cells that provide rapid defense against infections and cancer. They recognize and eliminate stressed or infected cells without prior sensitization, playing a key role in immunosurveillance.
Lymphocytes
Lymphocytes are essential white blood cells that help protect the body from infections and diseases. They come in three main types: B cells, T cells, and NK cells, each with its unique role in the immune system.
Neutrophils
Neutrophils are white blood cells crucial for fighting infections. They engulf and kill bacteria through phagocytosis. Learn about neutrophilia, neutropenia, and their role in immune health.
Hairy Cell Leukemia (HCL)
Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare blood cancer characterized by abnormal white blood cells. Learn about symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatment options.
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a diverse group of cancers of the lymphatic system. Unlike Hodgkin lymphoma, NHL encompasses various subtypes based on lymphocyte type (B-cell or T-cell) and growth rate (slow-growing or aggressive).
JAK2 V617F Mutation Allele Specific PCR Protocol
Uncover the JAK2 V617F mutation, a key driver in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs). Learn ARMS PCR, a reliable technique for diagnosis!
Abnormal White Blood Cell Morphology
Abnormal white blood cell (WBC) morphology, seen in a blood smear analysis, can indicate various underlying conditions. These include infections, deficiencies in vitamins like B12 or folate, or even blood disorders.
