‘Rituxan works on a component of the immune system called B-cells,’ Dr. Hawker said.
Green tea improves the overall functioning of the immune system, as it is thought to stimulate immune cells, specifically B-cells, which fight infection by building lymphatic tissue and producing antibodies.
Three important kinds of lymphocytes are T-cells, B-cells, and Natural Killer Cells.
There are two types of immune system - a B-cell and a T-cell.
This finding is also consistent with the known high levels of expression of TLR4 on macrophages, dendritic cells, and B-cells.
