lymph cell; lymphocyte (an agranulocytic leukocyte that normally makes up a quarter of the white blood cell count but increases in the presence of infection)
Context examples:
An acute lymphoblastic leukemia (current term: precursor lymphoblastic leukemia) of B-or T-cell origin which according to the FAB classification is characterized by the presence of more mature-appearing lymphoblasts.
(L1 Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, NCI Thesaurus)
It is characterized by the presence of lymphoblasts that carry a translocation between the BCR gene on chromosome 22 and the ABL1 gene on chromosome 9.
(Childhood B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia with t(9;22)(q34;q11.2); BCR-ABL1, NCI Thesaurus)

(B Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma with Hypodiploidy, NCI Thesaurus)
