Studies on the influence of thiols on lymphocytes (T-type lymphocytes) functions
Abstract:
We described changes in nonprotein sulfhydryl content and in intracellular concentration of cysteine (unbound form) in lymphocytes incubated with cysteine, cysteine hydrazide and D-penicillamine (dimethy lcysteine) in concentrations which do not alter the viability of the cells. Essential differences between the action of cysteine and cysteine hydrazide on one hand, and D-penicillamine on the other, can be observed. The formers cause the argumentation in nonprotein thiols content in lymphocytes, whereas D-penicillamine in a similar concentration does hardly alters the intracellular redox -SH/SS potential of nonprotein thiols within the lymphocytes.

Functions of the Lymphatic and Immune System
The primary lymphoid organs, including the bone marrow and the thymus, serve as the maturation sites for lymphocytes. Secondary lymphoid organs, like the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, activate these lymphocytes and serve as...
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...
Special Features of Adaptive Immunity
The primary cell types involved in adaptive immunity are T cells and B cells. Each type has a unique role in defending the body against pathogens. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They identify and eliminate infected cells directly,...
