AB  - Normal  lymphopoiesis  is  an  essential  component  in  host  defense.  It  involves  the  proliferation  and  function  of  several  types  of  lymphoid  cells  including  B  cells,  which  are  the  antibody-producing  cells;  T  cells,  which  carry  out  cell-mediated  immune  functions  and  are  largely  responsible  for  regulatory  control  of  the  immune  system;  and  the  natural  killer  (NK)  cells,  which  function  more  in  a  macrophage-like  role  in  host  defense  against  infection  and  malignancy.  An  understanding  of  normal  lymphopoiesis  requires  knowledge  of  individual  cell  characteristics  and  expected  responses  of  these  cells  to  disease  states.
