Medical Definition of Lymph cell

1. White cell of the blood that are derived from stem cells of the lymphoid series. Two main classes are recognised, T and B lymphocytes, the latter responsible (when activated) for production of antibody, the former subdivided into subsets (helper, suppressor, cytotoxic T-cells) and responsible both for cell-mediated immunity and for stimulating B-cells.
