Lymphocytes are a type of small white blood cell present in the human immune system. These small cells play a very large and important role in fighting diseases in the human body. There are basically two types of lymphocyte cells: B-cells and T-cells. B-cells are responsible for creating antibodies that attack bacteria, infectious microorganisms, and other foreign matter. T-cells have the job of fighting the bodies OWN cells that have been taken over by viruses or cancerous cells (malignancy). The absence of lymphocytes in the human immune system allow our bodies to become more susceptible to infections and disease and weakens immune response.
