The immune system relies on lymphocytes for cell-mediated and humoral responses. Laboratory tests like lymphocyte counts and surface marker analysis assess these crucial immune cell functions.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology

Context:

  • The human body employs two primary immune responses: humoral antibody-mediated and cell-mediated immunity.
  • Lymphocytes are central to both immune response types, orchestrating adaptive immunity.

Purpose:

  • To outline the critical role of lymphocytes in immune responses.
  • To detail the laboratory methodologies used for assessing lymphocyte function.

Summary:

  • Lymphocyte functions are evaluated through peripheral lymphocyte counts and morphology, lymphocyte surface marker analysis via flow cytometry, in vitro lymphocyte culture assays, and histopathological examination of lymphoid tissues.
  • Peripheral lymphocyte counts and morphology are the most common initial assessments, followed by flow cytometry for surface marker identification.

Impact:
