[Structural and functional peculiarities of lymphocytes from patients with lymphoblastic leukemia]
Abstract:
New data on the structure and properties of the cell surface of lymphocytes from the blood of patients with CLL, ALL and ALL at remission stage has been obtained using AFM technologies. It's been shown that, despite the presence of immature lymphocytes in the blood flow of patients with CLL and ALL, the mechanical properties and geometrical parameters of the cells are different. Lymphocytes of CLL patients had an increased volume and higher stiffness, while the cells from the blood of patients with ALL and ALL in remission had decreased stiffness, which allowed the cells to spread on the substrate, thereby the volumes increased due to their reduced height and increased diameter. Identified structural and functional peculiarities of white blood cells from the patients with leukemia can be used for prognosis of the cancer progression.

Lymphoid Cells and Tissues
Lymphoid cells consist of various types of immune system cells. These include B and T lymphocytes, which are responsible for producing antibodies and killing infected cells, respectively. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive...
Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...
