Category: #immunefunction Wednesday, August 19, 2020 Cell-Mediated Immune Function 101 WHAT IS CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNE FUNCTION? Cell-mediated immune function is the process by which T-lymphocytes protect the body from damage by signaling nearby cells how to respond to specific biological threats within the body. If antibodies are the ninja-like special forces of a biological invasion, the cell-mediated immune response is the front line of soldiers engaging in hand-to-hand combat. THE TWO SIDES OF THE HUMAN IMMUNE SYSTEM Biology textbooks divide the immune system into tw...

Immunity is a very personal thing. It is based on our biochemical individuality—all the decisions we make, genes we express, nutrients we absorb, medications we take, food we eat, stresses we encounter—can all affect immunity. Your ability to respond to infections—viral, bacterial, parasitic—depends on how STRONG and ADAPTABLE your immune system is. Here is where the lymphocyte comes in&hellip...

SpectraCell® measures the immune function on every single MNT (micronutrient test) it performs - it is actually the very first step in our nutrient test. Although an often-underrated aspect of the MNT, SpectraCell has been measuring immune function (specifically, via lymphocyte proliferation, which we cal...
