Lymphocytes are white blood cells.
There are several types of them: natural killer cells (NK), T-cells and B-cells. B cells respond to pathogens by producing large quantities of antibodies which then neutralize foreign objects like bacteria and viruses.
Antibodies are proteins made by B-cells.

What are tumor cells monoclonal kappa light chain positive?
These are tumor cells that arose from a single lymphocyte or plasma cell. The kappa light chain is a piece of the structure of an antibody; monoclonal means "single type". Therefore, these are tumor cells that all produce the same antibody structure, which indicates they are all derived from a single tumor cell that originally made this antibody structure.
