Detailed explanation-1: -A lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell that is part of the immune system. 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-2: -The T and B lymphocytes (T and B Cells) are involved in the acquired or antigen-specific immune response given that they are the only cells in the organism able to recognize and respond specifically to each antigenic epitope.
Detailed explanation-3: -A type of white blood cell. T lymphocytes are part of the immune system and develop from stem cells in the bone marrow. They help protect the body from infection and may help fight cancer.
Detailed explanation-4: -Lymphocytes can be further differentiated into B cells, T cells, and natural killer cells. While natural killer cells recognize general signals of immune stress such as inflammation, B and T cells recognize foreign antigens specifically via hyper-variable B cell and T cell receptors (BCRs and TCRs).
