 | | B cells arise in bone marrow and then migrate to other lymph organs where they multiply and reside. | | | T lymphocytes are found in peripheral lymphoid organs and are responsible for cell mediated immunity. | | | Lymphocytes are found in circulating blood, the thymus, spleen, lymph nodes and other lymph organs. |

| | Memory lymphocytes form the basis for strong secondary immune responses | | | Positive selection means enhancing development of certain T lymphocytes | | | Lymphocytes can develop into long-lived cells which "remember" a previously encountered antigen; these are called memory lymphocytes |

| | What this means is that each is able to bind to a particular molecular structure. | | | Although mature lymphocytes all look pretty much alike, they are extraordinarily diverse in their functions. | | | Link to drawing showing the organs of the immune system. |

| Â | B lymphocytes |
| | Lymphocytes are smaller than phagocytes and their nucleus fills most of the cell. | | | The secondary response is faster as there are many memory cells which divide rapidly and make plasma cells. | | | The primary response is slow as few B cells are specific to the antigen. |

| Â | NDI Terminology - B lymphocytes |
| | In birds B cell maturation takes place in the bursa of Fabricius ; the hypothesized analogous tissue in other vertebrates was termed the "bursa-equivalent" tissue. | | | B cells are characterized by the presence of surface immunoglobulin, monomeric IgM or IgD, which constitutes the B-cell antigen receptors. | | | When stimulated by antigen, a process that requires the cooperation of helper T cells and macrophages, B cells proliferate and differentiate into plasma cells and memory B cells. |

| | These results prove that lack of Btk function results in an Xid phenotype and further suggest a differential requirement for Btk during the early stages of murine versus human B lymphocyte development. | | | Apoptosis (programmed cell death) of T lymphocytes has been proposed as a mechanism which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease. | | | These results indicate that a HIV-specific mechanism other than Tat is responsible for the previously observed increased susceptibility of peripheral blood T cells from HIV-infected individuals to undergo apoptosis in response to Fas stimulation. |

| | Such antigens are capable of inflicting damage by chemically combining with natural substances in the body and disrupting the body's processes. | | | The body contains hundreds of thousands of different white blood cells called B lymphocytes, each capable of producing one type of antibody and each bearing sites on its membrane that will bind with a specific antigen. | | | When such a binding occurs, it triggers the B lymphocyte to reproduce itself, forming a clone that manufactures vast amounts of its antibody. |

| | Both macrophages and lymphocytes can be found near an infection, and the interaction between these cells is important in eliminating infection. | | | Bacterial peptides are similarly processed and displayed on MHC II molecules on the surface of B lymphocytes. | | | The scanning electron micrograph above, shows a human macrophage (gray) approaching a chain of Streptococcus pyogenes (yellow). |
