In fact, many scientists even consider blood to be an organ in its own right \u2014 that\u2019s how amazing and special it is!<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t been skipping your biology classes, you\u2019ll remember that blood is made up of different types, held together by plasma. The three most important types of blood cells are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Red blood cells (RBC) or erythrocytes<\/strong> contain the protein hemoglobin and help transport oxygen and carbon dioxide.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Platelets or thrombocytes<\/strong>\u00a0clog the wound whenever you get hurt to stop the bleeding.<\/li>\n<li><strong>White blood cells (WBC) or leukocytes<\/strong> help your immune system overcome harmful bacteria and viruses.<\/li>\n<li>Now, getting back to lymphocytes \u2014 can you guess which blood cell type they belong to?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Lymphocytes are members of the white blood cell family, which also includes macrophages and several other cell types.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each white blood cell variety plays an important role in protecting your blood and body against bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites, inflammation and other dangers.<\/p>\n<h2>Comparing The Different Types Of Lymphocytes<\/h2>\n<p>Lymphocytes branch into three distinct groups, all unique in their purpose and behavior. There are B cells, T cells and NK cells.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">#1: B Cells<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/characters\/blastor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Blastor<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/characters\/gamma-9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gamma-9<\/a> represent <a href=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/what-are-b-cells\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">B-Cells<\/a> in Biowars. Both Biowarriors are crafted after the real duties and structures of their scientific counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>As far as B cells go, <strong>they get their name from their ability to bind to specific antigens of a particular molecular configuration inside the human body. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is done through their BCR, an acronym for a B Cell Receptor, which hooks the harmful antigen, reels them in, engulfs them and starts devouring them.<\/p>\n<p>Then, once the antigen is consumed, it\u2019s digested into tiny, dissolvable fragments.<\/p>\n<p>Considering that antigens aren\u2019t good for your body, your B cells are doing you a big favor when they break down the bad guys.<\/p>\n<p>But another cool thing about B cells is their ability to clone themselves and create (through mitosis) an exact copy of themselves with identical BCRs \u2013 all with the aid of Helper T cells, of course.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16270 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Lymphocyte-B-Cell.jpg\" alt=\"B Cell lymphocyte Biowars illustration\" width=\"625\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Lymphocyte-B-Cell.jpg 625w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Lymphocyte-B-Cell-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Lymphocyte-B-Cell-440x224.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">#2: T Cells<\/h3>\n<p>Like the B Cell Biowarriors, the T Cell heroes also take after their organic equivalents in <a href=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/characters\/humron\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Humron<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/characters\/alpha-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alpha-1<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And just like B cells, T cells also contain identical T cell receptors, or TCRs, on their surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>Originating in the bone marrow alongside B cells, they eventually migrate to the thymus to continue maturing.<\/p>\n<p>T cells differ from B cells by not producing antibodies to eliminate antigens, but by lending a hand nonetheless in their total annihilation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How is this done?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s put it this way: T cells are the commanders of your body\u2019s biological forces, deploying macrophages to places where an infection is occurring, and letting them do the dirty work.<\/p>\n<p>That is unless they\u2019re playing the role of a cytotoxic T cell, <strong>which gives them a ruthless ability to kill infected cells, damaged cells and <a href=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/what-is-gene-mutation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mutated<\/a> cancer cells with equal parts charisma and total brutality. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So now that we\u2019re talking cell killers, you should learn a little bit about NK cells \u2014 your body\u2019s fiercest warriors.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16271\" src=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Lymphocyte-T-Cell.jpg\" alt=\"T cell lymphocyte Biowars illustration\" width=\"625\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Lymphocyte-T-Cell.jpg 625w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Lymphocyte-T-Cell-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Lymphocyte-T-Cell-440x220.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">#3: NK Cells<\/h3>\n<p>Here\u2019s where the Biowarriors <a href=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/characters\/cid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cid<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/characters\/syrinx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Syrinx<\/a> enter the picture.<\/p>\n<p>Just like the cytotoxic T cells, NK cells, also known as <a href=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/natural-killer-cells\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Natural Killer cells<\/strong><\/a>, provide rapid-response warfare on cancerous and other types of infectious cells to stop them in their tracks.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the innate immune system, Natural Killer cells limit the spread and damage caused by biological troublemakers.<\/p>\n<p>Natural Killer cells are also created in your bone marrow.

However, sometimes your immune system may find itself running low on lymphocytes.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, you can find out what your lymphocyte count is with a blood exam \u2014 such as a complete blood count (CBC) test.<\/p>\n<p>This can point to some underlying health issues that you might want to have checked out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Usually, a low count can be caused by:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A recent illness \u2014 especially a viral or bacterial disease<\/li>\n<li>Extreme exhaustion<\/li>\n<li>Stress or anxiety<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, none of these issues are very alarming and can be resolved with a healthy diet and a good rest.<\/p>\n<p>However, in some cases, a low count can be a sign of a more serious condition called lymphocytopenia or lymphopenia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This condition is usually caused by:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Incredibly rare hereditary disorders<\/li>\n<li>Autoimmune disease<\/li>\n<li>Nerve disorders<\/li>\n<li>Some chronic viral disease, such as AIDS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What If Your Lymphocytes Levels Are High?<\/h2>\n<p>As we\u2019ve established, having a low lymphocyte count is not the ideal situation. <strong>But what if there are a few too many of them in your blood? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, that\u2019s not the ideal situation, either. Of course, the implications of having a high count are not as serious as is the case with a low count.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Usually, a high count is observed if your immune system is actively working to destroy a harmful infection or reduce inflammation somewhere in your body.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, it may also point to an underlying condition called lymphocytosis, which is typically a sign of chronic autoimmune illness, digestive issues or in some cases, cancer.<\/p>\n<h2>Wrapping Up On Lymphocytes<\/h2>\n<p>Lymphocytes are more than just another type of white blood cells.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Represented by Blastor, Gamma-9, Humron, Alpha-1, Cid and Syrinx<\/strong>, they are fearless warriors who only have one goal \u2014\u202fto protect your body and your health.<\/p>\n<p>So next time you catch a cold, don\u2019t feel too bad when you get a fever. That\u2019s nothing but a sign that your B cells, T cells and NK cells are fighting a battle against whatever virus or bacteria that\u2019s making you feel sick.<\/p>\n<p>Which lymphocyte from the Biowars universe is your favorite?
