Questions and Answers

Which cells of the lymphoid lineage are derived from common lymphoid progenitor cells?

  • B cells
  • T cells
  • ILCs (innate lymphoid cells)
  • All of the above (correct)

Where do B cells and T cells develop from?

  • Stromal cells

  • Mature lymphocytes

What is the role of stromal cells in lymphocyte development?

  • They regulate hematopoietic stem cell differentiation
  • They differentiate into B cells and T cells
  • They produce cytokines and chemokines
