Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cells in the blood. They are of two types: T-cells and B-cells. T-cells secrete cytokines and interleukins after they are infected by foreign antigens like bacteria and virus. B-cells secrete antibodies in the blood after the entry of foreign pathogens in the human body.
