Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell crucial for the adaptive immune response, including B cells (which produce antibodies), T cells (which coordinate and carry out cell-mediated immunity), and NK cells (natural killer cells). This blood test counts lymphocytes as part of the complete blood count with differential. Elevated lymphocyte counts (lymphocytosis) may suggest viral infections, certain leukemias, or autoimmune conditions. Low lymphocyte counts (lymphopenia) can indicate immunodeficiency, bone marrow disorders, or the effects of immunosuppressive therapies.
