The increasing availability of reagents and technologies has resulted in the widespread use of immunophenotyping to define and assess the course of pathologic disorders involving lymphoid cells. The diversity of markers and of the disorders concerned has complicated the application of the technique. This paper reviews lymphocyte differentiation antigens, the technologies available to study them and possible applications in immunopathology. Four major disease groups are discussed: spontaneous immunodeficiencies, iatrogenic immunodeficiencies, auto-immune disorders and lymphoproliferative diseases. The importance of sequential explorations is stressed, where the abnormalities observed are analysed in the dynamic context of the disease and its therapy.

Lymphoid Cells and Tissues

Lymphoid cells and tissues are integral to the immune system, which is crucial in maintaining our body's defense against harmful pathogens. They form the building blocks of lymphoid organs, which include the spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes.
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...

Cells of the Adaptive Immune Response

The T and B lymphocytes of the adaptive immune system develop from common lymphoid progenitor cells in the bone marrow. These progenitors give rise to precursors that eventually develop into both T and B lymphocytes. As these precursors mature, they gain the ability to detect and respond to foreign antigens in the body, a process known as immunocompetence. Additionally, these precursors acquire self-tolerance, a process that ensures they do not react to self-antigens. This intricate system...
