A '''Lymphocyte''' is a small white [[blood cell]] that plays a major role in defending the body against disease. There are two main types of lymphocytes: B cells, which make antibodies that attack bacteria and toxins, and T cells, which attack body cells themselves when they have been taken over by viruses or become cancerous. | A '''Lymphocyte''' is a small white [[blood cell]] that plays a major role in defending the body against disease.
