Lymphocyte formation from lymphoblasts, illustration. Lymphoblasts are immature white blood cells (leukocytes) located in the bone marrow that generally form mature lymphocytes. These are a key part of the body's immune system, helping to fight disease. Here, three types of lymphocytes (across bottom) are shown forming from a lymphoblast. From left to right, they are: a B lymphocyte, a T lymphocyte, and a natural killer cell. For this illustration with labels, see image C047/5451. For the individual types, see images C047/5453 and C047/5455 to C047/5457.
