Infectious Diseases and HIV Conference

White blood cells are essentially part of the body's immune system because they play a significant role in fighting infections and diseases. We are going to discuss several types of white blood cells, their roles, and why they are important constituents of immunity as well as innate and adaptive immunity.

White blood cells fall broadly into two categories: granulocytes and a granulocytes. In this lecture, five main classes of leukocytes, such as neutrophils, eosinophil’s, basophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes, are to be discussed. All these differ in their functions and characteristics toward an immune response:

Neutrophils: The most abundant leukocytes, neutrophils constitute the first line of defense in infections. It phagocytizes the pathogens through the site and then releases enzymes to eliminate the pathogens.Eosinophils: They are involved in fighting parasitic infections and have a correlation with allergic diseases.

Basophils: Basophils take part in inflammation as they give out chemicals that include histamine that play a role in the process of an allergy. Lymphocytes: They are available in two types: B cells and T cells. These support adaptive immunity. B cells will go on to produce antibodies, and T cells will regulate the responses of the immune system and directly enter invaded cells. Monocytes: Matured cells become macrophages and dendritic cells that carry out most the act of phagocytosis and antigen presentation.

Role of White Blood Cells: This session will outline the functions of white blood cells. It shall carry out activities explaining how these cells determine pathogens and respond to them, including mechanisms such as phagocytosis, cytokines release, and activation of adaptive immunity, and finally their roles during surveillance and elimination of cancerous cells. Immune Response in Balance

Probably, the most basic fact for a healthy immune response is the balancing of the number of white blood cells.

In the session, participants will therefore be learning how hyper-responsiveness of the immune system contributes to autoimmunity and how responsiveness might open pathways to increased susceptibility to infections. It is through the session that participants will learn about agents that manipulate the production and functioning of white blood cells such as stress, nutrition, and infections. Future of White Blood Cell Research.

This session will culminate with a discussion of the future of white blood cells-whose advances in immunotherapy has the potential to tap into its power in curing diseases-including cancer and chronic infections.

Attendees will learn of cutting-edge technologies such as CAR T-cell therapy that attempts to improve T-cell functioning in targeting malignancy.
