Immune System Pins and Buttons

Lupus Alert Day is an annual awareness event observed on April 1. This event was created to raise awareness of lupus and provide support for the millions of people affected by this condition. Lupus is a life-threatening autoimmune disease, it is an abnormality where the human immune system, designed to protect, attacks tissue and organs in the body. The result in most cases is severe organ damage. Although there is currently no cure for the disease, it can still be controlled if given the right medical attention from its onset. This goes to further emphasize the importance and need of Lupus Alert Day.

Here's a great gift for a naturopathic practicioner! Filling the whole canvas with a black design this says: "Natural Immunity is Science just not the revenue generating kind."

The antibodies are the immune system's army. They are the real fighters in this corona virus war.

Cute bunny from coronavirus fight club fights COVID-19 literally with his fists. Metaphor about immune system doing its job. Fun way to fight Corona Virus with humour and cuteness. Great gift for everyone who like rabbits and are aware of pandemic.

Microglia. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of protective cells of the human immune system known as a microglia. Microglia process foreign antigens then act like an alarm signal, alerting other immune cells of the body to the infection. The long projections seen on the cell's surface are "feet" to help it move. Dendritic cells found in the central nervous system are known as microglia, in the upper layer of the skin (the epidermis) they are known as histiocytes or Langerhans cells. and in the liver as Kupffer cells. Magnification:x1300 when printed at 10cm high.

A cute drawing of a broken shield with the words my immune system is broken in the colours of the disability pride flag perfect gift for celebrating disability pride month in July or International Day of Disabled Persons.

This colorful design fitting for everyone who loves surreal things. It can also be given as a Birthday or Christmas gift to your best friend, relative, boyfriend or girlfriend who also loves surreal things. Design is also fitting in time for the current pandemic

Bacteria infecting a macrophage. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria (purple) infecting a macrophage white blood cell. The macrophage, when activated, will engulf (phagocytose) the bacteria and destroy them as part of the body's immune response. M. tuberculosis causes the disease tuberculosis. It infects the lungs creating primary tubercles, nodular lesions of dead tissue and bacteria. The bacteria may enter the blood or lymph systems and spread to other organs of the body. Tuberculosis is spread by coughs and sneezes.

Macrophage engulfing TB bacteria. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a macrophage white blood cell (purple) engulfing a tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) bacterium (pink). This process is called phagocytosis. Macrophages are cells of the body's immune system. They phagocytose and destroy pathogens, dead cells and cellular debris.

T cells attacking cancer cell, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The T cells (red) are attacking an oral squamous cancer cell (white). The cytotoxic (cell-killing) T cells are part of a natural immune response. Research being carried out in the field of nanomedicine is creating personalized cancer vaccines by loading neoantigens from a patient's tumour into nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are then used to activate the patient's own immune system, triggering the actions of T cells as seen here.

Antibody. Computer illustration of an antibody, or immunoglobulin, molecule. These Y-shaped molecules have two arms that can bind to specific antigens, for instance viral or bacterial proteins. In doing this they mark the antigen for destruction by phagocytes, white blood cells that ingest and destroy foreign bodies. Antibodies can also kill some pathogens directly and can neutralise toxins.

Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of dividing lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell involved in the immune system. Lymphocytes are divided into either B-cells or T- cells. B-cells mature in bone marrow and are responsible for humoural immunity; they operate by recognising a specific site on the surface of a pathogen or foreign object (antigen), which they then bind to before producing antibodies to destroy that antigen. T-cells mature in the thymus and are involved in cell-mediated immunity, which does not rely on antibodies to fight antigens, but rather the activation of macrophages, NK-cells, cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and various cytokines.Magnification: x 4000 when printed 10 centimetres wide.

Resting T lymphocytes. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of resting T lymphocytes from a human blood sample. T lymphocytes, or T cells, are a type of white blood cell and components of the body's immune system. They mature in the thymus. T lymphocytes recognise a specific site on the surface of pathogens or foreign objects (antigens), bind to it, and attract antibodies or cells to eliminate that antigen.

Naive B cells are a type of immune cell that has never been exposed to any outside entity such as a bacteria or virus. They are perhaps the most adorable of the immune cells

Hey Buddy, you want a new tshirt?

Covid Days :(

A playful and colorful design featuring bold text that declares the benefits of DDT. Eye-catching and humorous, this design is sure to make a statement.

T lymphocytes and cancer cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of T lymphocyte cells (pink) attached to a cancer cell. T lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that recognise a specific site (antigen) on the surface of cancer cells or pathogens and bind to it. Some T lymphocytes then signal for other immune system cells to eliminate the cell. The genetic changes that cause a cell to become cancerous lead to the presentation of tumour antigens on the cell's surface. Magnification: x2300 when printed at 10 centimetres wide.

Macrophage engulfing bacterium. Artwork of a section through a macrophage (center) engulfing a bacterium (lower right). The macrophage cytoplasm (blue and purple) and cell membrane (green/blue) is seen here on the surface of the bacterial cell wall (green). Within the bacterium is its cytoplasm (purple) and nucleus (red and orange). At top right is the blood serum (yellow, brown). Macrophages are a type of white blood cell (leucocyte) which defend the body against invading micro-organisms. When a macrophage encounters a pathogen, it engulfs and destroys it, a process called phagocytosis. This image is the second of three, see also P276/201 & P276/203.
