Detailed explanation-1: -The lymph nodes and other lymphatic structures like the spleen and thymus hold special white blood cells called lymphocytes. These can rapidly multiply and release antibodies in response to bacteria, viruses, and a range of other stimuli from dead or dying cells and abnormally behaving cells such as cancer cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell. They can identify antigens (substances foreign to the body) and cause an immune response. There are three types of lymphocytes: T-cell, NK-cell, and B-cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -B cells (B lymphocytes) make antibodies to fight an infection. T cells (T lymphocytes) defend the body against disease and infection and control the immune response.
