One of the common symptoms of leukemia is a significant decrease in functional white blood cells. Which components of nonspecific and specific immunity will be negatively affected by leukemia? Which components of the immune system will remain unaffected?

Answer :

Two types of white blood cells called lymphocytes are vital to the specific immune response. Lymphocytes are produced in the bone marrow and mature into one of the several subtypes. The two most common are T cells and B cells. An antigen is a foreign material that triggers a response from T and B cells.
