Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell generated by the immune system to defend the body against cancerous cells, pathogens, and foreign matter. Lymphocytes circulate in blood and lymph fluid and are found in body tissues including the spleen, thymus, bone marrow, lymph nodes, tonsils, and liver. Lymphocytes provide a means for immunity against antigens. This is accomplished through two types of immune responses: humoral immunity and cell mediated immunity. Humoral immunity focuses on identifying antigens prior to cell infection, while cell mediated immunity focuses on the active destruction of infected or cancerous cells.

Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that are responsible for initiating an immune response when a foreign invader enters the body.

Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that are responsible for initiating an immune response when a foreign invader enters the body. These cells are primarily in the tonsils, lymph nodes and the spleen, but they also circulate in the blood

Lymphocytes are cells that specify the immune response of the body towards infectious microorganisms as well as other foreign substances. They form a major component of the body's immune mechanism. These cells are normally in circulation within the blood, but are concentrated in the spleen, tonsils and lymph nodes.

Lymphocytes has 3 types: 

1. T CELLS- Cell mediated immunity

2. B CELLS- Humoral Immunity/ Adaptive immunity by producing Antibodies

3. Natural Killer Cells- Innate immune system and play a role in defending the host from tumors and virally infected cells.
