Useful Information

Lymphocytes are types of white blood cells. These cells make up part of the immune system, which protects the body from attack from pathogens and toxins. They also destroy diseased cells, including cancer cells and prevent the body from attacking itself.

There are two types of lymphocytes: B and T cells. They are named because B cells stay in a person’s bone marrow and T cells go to the thymus, which is an organ found just behind the breastbone. There are different types of B and T cells.
