Thymic hormones are involved in the maturation of T lymphocytes.

In acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), it is the T or the B lymphocytes that become cancerous.

For example, viral infection is usually associated with an increase in lymphocytes, while bacterial and fungal infections are associated with an increase in polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils).

Monocytes and macrophages are somewhat higher in neonates, and make up as much as 80 percent or more, with only 20 percent or less being lymphocytes.

About 70 percent of immunoglobulin deficiencies involve B lymphocytes and 20-30 percent involve T lymphocytes.

Another 10 percent may involve both B and T lymphocytes.

Primary immunoglobulin deficiencies are primarily the result of congenital defects that affect the development and function of B lymphocytes (B cells), the white cells that fight infection and disease.

Defects in the thymus gland that manufactures T lymphocytes or defects in the T lymphocytes themselves can also result in reduced production of immunoglobulins.

B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes may be quantified.

B lymphocytes manufacture proteins called antibodies (which are sometimes also called immunoglobulins).

There are helper T lymphocytes and killer T lymphocytes.

The helper T lymphocytes play a role in recognizing invading organisms, and they also help killer T lymphocytes to multiply.

As the name suggests, killer T lymphocytes act to destroy the target organism.

Congenital immunodeficiencies may occur as a result of defects in B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, or both.

The congenital immunodeficiency disorder, Bruton's agammaglobulinemia, also known as X-linked agammaglobulinemia, results in a decrease or absence of B lymphocytes and, therefore, a decreased ability to make antibodies.

If there is an abnormality in either the development or function of B lymphocytes, the ability to make antibodies will be impaired.
