To fight off infections creating antibodies which are microscopic proteins which are shaped specially to fit one pathogen
Example ...
There is a different antibody for the flu and a different one a cold (however there would be many for the common cold as it mutates very quickly -Look up mutation) .
There are many types of lymphocytes

Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that plays a key role in the immune system. They help the body fight infections by producing antibodies to attack foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses. Lymphocytes also help regulate the immune response and maintain immune memory.
IMPORTANCE OF B LYMPHOCYTES:
1.b lymphocytes play important role in humeral immune response.
2.they secretes antibodies.
3.they differentiate into memory and plasma cells.
An antibody has two side arms (Fab portion) and a stem (Fc portion). The side arms are the recognition sites for specific antigens such as foreign proteins to the host and they have antigen-bindinig sites for the antigen to bind to. The stem activates the host's defense system.
The main function of the antibodies is to identify and neutralize microbes(germs).
A mast cell is not a lymphocyte or a phagocyte. It is a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response, particularly in allergies and anaphylaxis, by releasing histamine and other inflammatory mediators.
A type of white blood cell called a lymphocyte, or more specifically a B lymphocyte produces antibodies.
granulocyte, lymphocyte, monocyte, basophil and eosinophil are all white blood cells
A cytotoxic T-cell is a form of lymphocyte that is the "killer" T-cell. This cell engulfs damaged or viral/bacterial cells to stop them from infecting the blood.
a cell permorms its function very uniquely cell helps in division and cell cycle too!
