We begin our discussion of cells of the immune system by focusing on cells derived from common lymphoid progenitors (CLPs) (see Figure 1.1). These cells, broadly called lymphocytes, represent the principal cell players in adaptive immune responses while, in the case of some cell types, they have the ability to bridge innate and adaptive immunity. Figure 2.6 illustrates the major lymphoid populations of cells derived from CLPs.
