Hi guys

 

Just a quick question: is a T-lymphocyte bigger than a B lymphocyte? By about how much?

 

I will appreciate a good answer!:)

Hiya

 

B cells, in their normal state are about 10-15 micrometers in size and T cells are about 7-8 micrometers, so they are smaller.

That is only general though as you have to account for different types of B and T cells and what they are doing.

You are a lifesaver!

Thanks :D

 

You are welcome :)

Peripheral blood lymphocytes from normal individuals were studied by optical microscopy methods specialist. Lymphocytes as a whole and subpopulation of T cells are considered. cell structure is characterized by reference to the polarization analysis of flow cytometry.
