    This document discusses the main classes of lymphocytes, their functions, and typical proportions found in the human body. The main lymphocyte classes are natural killer (NK) cells, helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, γδ T cells, and B cells. NK cells lyse virally infected and tumor cells (7% of lymphocytes). Helper T cells release cytokines and growth factors to regulate the immune response (46%). Cytotoxic T cells lyse virally infected, tumor, and transplanted cells (19%). γδ T cells provide immunoregulation and cytotoxicity (5%). B cells secrete antibodies (23%).
