When such cells meet a foreign invader like HIV, they turn into a different cell ( known as a lymphoblast ) and begin to proliferate.

Finally, specialized immune cells, B cells and T cells, and nonspecialized immune cells, nature killer cells, are created from the lymphoblasts.
19.

In histology, it is very difficult to distinguish it from the other "-blast " cells ( lymphoblast, myeloblast, monoblast, and megakaryoblast ).
