Lymphocyte Development
Lymphocyte development is a crucial process in the immune system, where specialized white blood cells called lymphocytes are formed. This process begins in the bone marrow, where hematopoietic stem cells differentiate into B cells and T cells. B cells mature in the bone marrow, while T cells migrate to the thymus for further development.
Once matured, lymphocytes circulate throughout the body, ready to respond to infections. B cells produce antibodies to neutralize pathogens, while T cells help destroy infected cells or coordinate the immune response. This development ensures a diverse and effective immune defense against various diseases.
