About Lymphocytes

Lymphocytes produce antibodies which attach themselves to pathogens to either damage, destroy or to make it easier for the phagocytes to engulf them.

Lymphocytes also produce antitoxins to cancel out the effects of toxic chemicals made by the pathogens.

When an organism is infected lymphocytes produce hundreds of different antibodies until one works.

Once a lymphocyte has produce a working antibody it will remember and reproduce it any time the same pathogen infects the organism.
