| lymphocyte s. |
a series of morphologically distinguishable cells once thought to represent stages in lymphocyte development: in order of maturity, the lymphoblast, “prolymphocyte,” and lymphocyte. It is now known that lymphocyte precursors are morphologically indistinguishable from small lymphocytes and that lymphoblasts are not precursors but activated lymphocytes that have been transformed in response to antigenic stimulation.

| lymphocyte-associated v. |
any virus of the subfamily Gammaherpesvirinae, members of which are specific for either B or T lymphocytes; infection is often arrested at a prelytic or lytic stage without production of infectious virions. Latent virus may frequently be demonstrated in lymphoid tissue. Host range is very narrow.
