Detailed explanation-1: -The primary function of lymph nodes is the filtering of lymph to identify and fight infection. In order to do this, lymph nodes contain lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, which includes B cells and T cells. These circulate through the bloodstream and enter and reside in lymph nodes. B cells produce antibodies.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are two main types of lymphocytes: B cells and T cells. The B cells produce antibodies that are used to attack invading bacteria, viruses, and toxins.
Detailed explanation-3: -During steady state, lymph nodes maintain peripheral tolerance. Upon activation, lymph nodes quickly initiate protective adaptive immunity to produce antibody, cytotoxic immune cells and memory against the invading foreign antigens.
