Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Lymphocytes are cells, which are involved in the body’s defense mechanism. They produce proteins known as antibodies that protect the body against pathogens. The process that these cells utilize to produce these antibodies includes a number of cell organelles and components including ribosomes, plasma membrane, vesicles, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus.
