At lymph nodes
Both type of lymphocytes are made in the bone marrow and only the B - Lymphocytes mature in the bone marrow, whereas the T Lymphocytes travel to the thymus gland where they mature.

who discoverd lymphocytes
The lymphocytes aren't typical. Theyre like out-of-town lymphocytes.
B lymphocytes develop in the bone marrow. They then chill out in the blood until they meet an antigen that they are encoded and they become activated. However they need to be checked by another immune cell before to present auto-antigen. Once activated they then go to the spleen.
Secondary lymphoid organs and tissues are the sites where lymphocytes are most active. The white pulp of the spleen is the common site for plasma cells to develop. Macrophages are also active in the spleen red pulp; where they engulf blood-borne antigens to be presented to T lymphocytes in the circulation.
Directly from my anatomy and physiology book - Marieb & Hoehn Eighth Edition: "Lymphocytes originate in red bone marrow from hematopoietic stem cells." " B cells become immunocompetent and self-tolerant in the bone marrow."
Primary lymphoid tissue is he place that lymphocytes develop, as opposed to secondary lymphoid tissue where lymphocytes are most active.
