HIF Classification
T cells (TCs)
Description Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell, which is a cell that's an important part of your immune system. White blood cells help your body fight bacteria, viruses, and other toxins that can make you sick. We explain what your lymphocytes do, the roles of B and T cells, and what your lymphocyte count should be. [1]
