Comparing B and T lymphocytes (TH = helper T lymphocytes, TC = cytotoxic T lymphocytes) a. Both T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes are not involved in the adaptive immune response to viral pathogens, like corona virus causing Covid-19 b. Both B and T lymphocytes only mature in the bone marrow c. B lymphocytes do not have nuclei, while T lymphocytes all have nuclei d. B cell plasma cells are responsible for the production of antibodies, T cells are involved in helping coordinate the humoral response or mediating cellular adaptive immunity e. T lymphocytes belong to two categories: TH cells that coordinate the humoral immune response and TC lymphocytes that lyse and phagocytose dead bacterial cells
