Introduction:
Lymphocytes are the white blood cell (WBC) subtypes, which is a prominent component of the immune system (vertebrate organisms). The different subcomponents of the lymphocytes has been mentioned below:
T cells
B cells
Natural killer cells
Adaptive immunity driven by the antibodies
Cytotoxic innate immune response
