# Lymphocyte Cells This table describes different types of lymphocytes and their characteristics. | Lymphocytes | Mononuclear leukocytes | blood cell (Y/N) | Lymphoblast | Also known as | Adaptive immune system | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | (T Cells) | yes | Mature in the thymus | Differentiate into antigen-specific effector cell | Innate & Most adaptive immune responses are triggered when a recirculating T cell recognizes its specific antigen on the surface of a dendritic cell. | - T-Helper cells (Th) (CD4+) immune response mediators - Cytotoxic T cells (CD8+) cell destruction Mainly involved with cell-mediated immunity (independent of B cells) T cells essential for helping B cells respond to antigen. | | (B cells) | yes | Mature in the bone marrow | Differentiate into: -Plasma cells: antibody-secreting cells -Memory (effector) cells | Adaptive, humoral/antibody mediated response. | - Production of antibodies -Memory cells involved with secondary immune response | | | | | | | - Th cells: intracellular bacteria - Cytotoxic T cells: virus infected and tumour cells - Natural Killer cells: virus infected and tumour cells | | | | | | | -Foreign antigens |
