Fine Art Print : Immune response
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Immune response
Immune response. Fluorescent light micrograph of T lymphocytes (red) surrounding glial cells. Glial cells are support cells for neurons (nerve cells). T lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell and one of the components of the bodys immune system. They recognise a specific site (antigen) on the surface of damaged cells or pathogens and bind to it. Some T lymphocytes then signal for other immune system cells to eliminate the cell. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes eliminate the cell themselves by releasing a protein that forms pores in the cells membrane

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate workings of our immune system. In this fluorescent light micrograph, we witness a mesmerizing dance between T lymphocytes and glial cells within the central nervous system (CNS). Glial cells, known as the support system for neurons, find themselves surrounded by these red-hued T lymphocytes. T lymphocytes are a vital component of our body's defense mechanism. They possess an incredible ability to recognize specific antigens on damaged cells or pathogens and bind to them with precision. Once bound, some T lymphocytes send signals to other immune system cells, initiating a coordinated effort to eliminate the threat. The true marvel lies in how cytotoxic T lymphocytes take matters into their own hands. By releasing a protein that forms pores in the cell membrane, they single-handedly dismantle and destroy the targeted cell. This microscopic battle is beautifully captured under the lens of a light microscope using fluorescent lighting techniques. As we delve deeper into this image, it serves as a reminder of just how remarkable our biological systems are. The complexity and coordination required for such an immune response highlight nature's ingenuity at its finest. Through this stunning visual representation, Science Photo Library invites us to appreciate both the elegance and power behind our body's immunity against harmful invaders.
