What is splenocyte?
Splenocyte is a cell produced in the spleen. The spleen creates a number of white blood cells that play an important role in immune function. Some of them remain inside the spleen, while others can circulate through the body. Spleen disorders may cause a decrease in the number of white blood cells of the patient, in addition to increased susceptibility to the disease, as the patient's immune system also does not work. Bone marrow takes over the task of producing both types of cells after birth, but the spleen retains the ability to create lymphocytes, macrophages and some other cell types. Each type of splenocyte can help spleen with its functions and promote immune health. Although it is possible to live without spleen, patients who have undergone splenectomy may later be an increased risk of health problems in their lives. When thelood passes through the spleen and recycles old red blood cells that are close to the end of their lifetime. Sleen can clean iron and other useful materials for reuse. Splenocytes can also work to identify foreign antibodies and nEpocular cells in the blood and destroy them. Splenocyte is one of the lines of the body's defense against infection.
In the case of systemic infection, the production of white blood cells will rise to suit the need. Patients with chronic infection and inflammation may develop splenomegaly where the spleen is enlarged. They may also have an unusual number of splenocytes, whether high or low, due to spleen problems. Reduced organ function may also mean that the patient is more susceptible to secondary infections and other health problems, because the spleen is no longer able to filter blood.
Blood testing can provide shoe information in circulation and the doctor can also take a biopsy directly from the spleen to learn more about the production of splenocytes and the current spleen cell population. The physician may ask such testing for a patient who shows signs of damage such as tangible enlargement in the neighborhood of the spleen. If they are identifiesAbnormalities, the physician may determine the cause and provide treatment recommendations. Patients sometimes consider it useful to obtain a second opinion to learn more about their possibilities.
