Lymphocytes develop in the bone marrow, until they are differentiated into their specific type - T cell, B cell or Natural Killer cell. B cells mature into B lymphocytes in the bone marrow, aided by the hormone interleukin-7. T cells migrate to the thymus, where they mature into, you guessed it, T l ymphocytes, aided by several hormones - interleukin-1, interleukin-4, interleukin-6, thymosin, thymopoietin, and thymulin.

Where do t-lymphocytes mature?
T lymphocytes undergo their final maturation in the thymus, hence why they are called 'T cells'.
Which glands produce a hormone that stimulates cells in the immune system?

Is the thymus an exocrine gland?
No, thymus is an endocrine gland it secretes hormone named as thymosins which play an important role in the development differentiation and maturation of T lymphocytes
T-cell lymphocytes that inhibit the activity of B cell lymphocytes?
suppressor T-cells
Hormone that affects the production of the WBC called lymphocytes?
