Immediately after a lymphocyte becomes activated, it undergoes clonal expansion, rapidly proliferating to produce numerous identical daughter cells. These daughter cells differentiate into effector cells, such as cytotoxic T cells or plasma cells, depending on the type of lymphocyte activated. This process enhances the immune response, enabling the body to effectively target and eliminate pathogens or infected cells. Additionally, some of these activated lymphocytes will become memory cells, providing long-term immunity.
