T lymphocytes are characterized by a round or oval nucleus with a small amount of cytoplasm. They have cell surface receptors that can recognize specific antigens presented by antigen-presenting cells. T lymphocytes differentiate into various subsets such as helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, regulatory T cells, and memory T cells.
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.
T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes

The Thymus is involved in the maturation of T Lymphocytes.
CD8+ T cells divide and differentiate into cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
T lymphocytes undergo their final maturation in the thymus, hence why they are called 'T cells'.
suppressor T-cells
Lymphocytes
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.
T lymphocytes mature in the thymus gland, which is located in the chest area behind the breastbone.
T cells or T lymphocytes belong to a group of White blood cells known as Lymphocytes, and play a central role in cell-meaditated immunity . They can be distinguished from other lymphocyte types, suach as B cells and natural killer cells (NK cells) by the presence of a special receptor on their cell surface called T cell receptors (TCR). The abbreviation T, in T cell, stands for thymus, since this is the principal organ responsible for the T cell's maturation. Several different subsets of T cells have been discovered, each with a distinct function.
