As part of the immune system, all lymphocytes are designed to ultimately defend the body against pathogens. However, amongst the T-cell variety of lymphocytes there are three further subdivisions/types:
Lymphocytes are categorized into B cells, T cells or NK cells. B cells are mainly responsible for the production of antibodies against pathogens while T and NK cells are primarily cytotoxic.
The production of antibodies have 3 critical roles in your immune system: opsinization, it neutralizes and it starts the complement cascade. B cells are the factories that produces antibodies once exposed to an antigen (foreign body).
T and NK cells take a more direct approach in fighting pathogens (bacteria/fungus). They will act directly on an infected cell and induce apoptosis (cellular suicide).
Lymphocytes kill pathogens by producing antibodies.
Do you mean lymphocytes? Lymphocytes are white blood cells which make chemicals called antibodies. Antibodies destroy bacteria which get into the blood. They give us immunity to diseases.
Lymphocytes are types of White Blood Cells in the immune system. There are two main types of lymphocytes,B lymphocytes,T lymphocytes.Plasma B lymphocytes produce large amounts of antibodies when you have a bacteria, virus or fungi.Memory B lymphocytes remember things you've already had and change into Plasma B lymphocytes to then produce certain antibodies that can kill the bacteria before it turns into a disease.The T lymphocytes are much more aggressive though,things like cytotoxic T lymphocytes will destroy cells that are infected with a virus. Hope I helped. :)
Yes, the lymphocytes neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and B-lymphocytes. The are the primary method the body uses to remove free microorganisms in blood and tissue fluids.
Absolutely not.
the three types of white blood cells are lymphocytes which produces a chemical called antibodies, to destroy the bacteria. The second type is antitoxins and they neutralise the poisons that the bacteria are making. Another type is phagocytes which engulf (eat) the bacteria into the cytoplasm and kill them

the cell that attacks bacteria in the blood

Lymph nodes are located along lymphatic pathways, and contain lymphocytes and macrophages, which destroy invading microorganisms. They remove and destroy potentially harmful foreign particles from the lymph through phagocytosis by macrophages. They are also the centers for the production of lymphocytes that act against foreign particles.Lymph nodes are located along lymphatic pathways, and contain lymphocytes and macrophages, which destroy invading microorganisms.
Antibodies produced by B-lymphocytes. Note that antibodies produced by T-lymphocytes stay attached to the cell that made them and do not circulate free in the blood. They are responsible for attacking whole cells and multicellular parasites.
the B-cells.
