Lymphocytes play a role in body's natural defense. They are comprised of B cells and T cells. T cells are cellular mediators of immunity whereas B cells differentite into immunoglobulin-synthesizing plasma cells. If T cells are fighters, B cells like to 'prepare' by synthesizing antibodies to the invading antigens.

What is B lymphocytes associated with the production of?
B lymphocytes are associated with
What are the main two types of lymphocytes?
T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes
How do B lymphocytes respond to foreign protein?
B lymphocytes, or B cells would produce antibodies.
Which cells secrete the antibodies?
Lymphocytes LB
What are two kinds of lymphocytes?
Lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell found in the vertebral immune system. Lymphocytes can be divided into Large lymphocytes and small lymphocytes when viewed under the microscope. The Large lymphocytes include natural killer cells (NK cells) There are mainly two types of Lymphocytes. T Lymphocytes and B Lymphocytes. (these are small lymphocytes according to the microscopic view) B Lymphocytes have 3 subsets. You can see the attached link for further information.
Function of T-Lymphocytes?
T- lymphocytes are the "Generals of the immune system" and direct much of the immune response. Their biggest role is in telling B lymphocytes to make antibodies but they also have other functions.
What is involved in clonal expansion?
B-lymphocytes, T4-helper lymphocytes, cytokines, and most importantly pathogens (they're what triggers it in the first place).As B-lymphocytes are maturing and differentiating, each creates a specific antigen-binding site that's fairly unique. When antigens bind to the appropriate B-lymphocytes and activate them, active T4-helper lymphocytes sensitive to the same antigen (effector T4-helper lymphocytes) produce proteins called cytokines to switch on the activated B-lymphocytes' ability to rapidly divide. The process of clonal expansion itself is just the B-lymphocytes and T4-helper lymphocytes suited to the particular antigen rapidly increasing in number and mutating as they do so to better adapt to the antigen; the T4-helper lymphocytes also experience a similar clonal expansion.
The formed elements most directly responsible for humoral immunity are?
B lymphocyteB cells.B-lymphocytes
What is the function of B Lymphocytes?
IMPORTANCE OF B LYMPHOCYTES: 1.b lymphocytes play important role in humeral immune response. 2.they secretes antibodies. 3.they differentiate into memory and plasma cells.
Why do conditions that cause destruction of B lymphocytes and or T lymphocytes cause malfunctioning of both specific and nonspecific immune responses?
The destruction of B lymphocytes and or T lymphocytes is a cell injury. Both of these lymphocytes are needed to activate the specific and nonspecific immune responses.
What is the main function of B lymphocytes?
IMPORTANCE OF B LYMPHOCYTES: 1.b lymphocytes play important role in humeral immune response. 2.they secretes antibodies. 3.they differentiate into memory and plasma cells.
A primary function of lymphocytes is to?
Lymphocytes are also known as the white blood cells. They are primarily used to fight infection.
