Lymphocytes develop in the bone marrow, until they are differentiated into their specific type - T cell, B cell or Natural Killer cell. B cells mature into B lymphocytes in the bone marrow, aided by the hormone interleukin-7. T cells migrate to the thymus, where they mature into, you guessed it, T l ymphocytes, aided by several hormones - interleukin-1, interleukin-4, interleukin-6, thymosin, thymopoietin, and thymulin. I'd be interested to know why you need to know this.
