Lymph is formed when the interstitial fluid between gaps in the body's tissues is collected through lymph capillaries and mixed with surrounding substances of the tissues. It is then transported through the lymph vessels and then to lymph nodes and is placed into the blood again via. the right or left subclavian vein, now replenished with immune backup.

white blood cells (lymphocytes to be exact)
B cells make antibodies which latch onto the foreign antigens for which they were produced.
Lymphocytes
antibodies
T and B cells are two types of lymphatic cells.
B cells are produced in the bone marrow and then move to the spleen to continue to mature. After that, they move throughout the bloodstream and lymphatic system (the system liking all of your lymph nodes.)
B cells make antibodies when they recognize antigens.
"Memory B cells" of the immune system stay in your body after an infection to enable quick immune responses to the disease-causing organism (antigen) if later exposed again. Antibodies are proteins made by the type of white blood cells called B-cells/"plasma cells" in response to the presence of antigens. The antibodies attach to the B-cells as "B-cell Receptors" to activate them, and can cause them to become either the memory B-cells or more plasma cells.
White blood cells make antibodies called lymphocytes or B cells
The immune system produces B cells and T cells. These cells are stored in the lymph nodes, which are part of the lymphatic system.
The lymphatic system is an important part of the circulatory system. It is responsible for removing cell waste and delivering the antibodies of the immune system, the bodies defense mechanism, to organs.

The lymphatic tissues, white blood cells, the cells of Langerhans, B-cells, T-cells, tonsils, lymph nodes, pancreas, bone marrow, mast cells, wandering lymphocytes, wandering macrophages, type I lung cells and quite a few other types
tea helps fight off infections as well as gut bacteriatea helps fight off infections as well as gut bacteria
1)The cell-mediated immune system: T-cells which originate in the bone marrow. Migrate to Thymus to finish their development.2) The humoral immune system; B-cells originate in the Bone marrow, stay there to develop. B-cells can produce antibodies, need exposure to foreign antigens to do start.
phagocyte is the main cell of immune system
T cells are made in the red bone marrow but specialize into t cells outside the marrow in the thymus, hence the T in Tcells. two types of t cells are cytotoxic effector cells and helper t cells. think of cytotoxic t cells as the drunk guy in the bar that wants to fight everyone (and is a good fighter by the way) and the helper t cells are the friends who show him who to fight and provides him with the weapons to fight. CTC can attach to and destroy cells carrying antigens Helper T cells 1. present antigen to CE cells and plasma B cells to activate them into action and 2. produe powerful immune protein called cytokins which can stimulate the lymphocyte cell disvision.
There are two types of cell that play roles in adaptive immunity. Memory T and memory B cells. These cells are produced in vast numbers when a person's immune system is activated, and these cells float around the blood and lymphatic system for months (and even years!) after the primary infection. When person is exposed to secondary infection, the immune system 'recognises' the pathogenic particles and has a heightened response to the infection.
