Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lymphomas derived from intrafollicular lymphocytes most commonly express a B-cell phenotype. These lymphomas arise from germinal center B-cells, which are involved in the production of high-affinity antibodies.

Option A is incorrect because T-cell lymphomas do exist, but they are not derived from intrafollicular lymphocytes. Option C is incorrect because NK cells are not typically found in germinal centers. Option D is incorrect because Null cells are a rare subtype of lymphocyte that have lost expression of all lineage markers and do not fall into any specific category. Option E is incorrect because there must be a specific phenotype expressed, even if it is a rare one.
