Immune System Cell (Leukocyte)

Target: Leukocyte
Molecular classification: Cell

Overview

Immune system cells, also known as immune cells or leukocytes, are specialized cells that play a central role in defending the body against infections, foreign substances, and abnormal cell growth. These cells originate from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow and differentiate into various types with distinct functions within both the innate and adaptive branches of immunity. Major types include phagocytes (Neutrophils, Macrophages, Dendritic Cells, Monocytes), Lymphocytes (B Lymphocytes, T Lymphocytes, Natural Killer (NK) Cells).
