Differentiation of lymphocytes refers to development of a common "precursor" lymphocyte into a more specialized lymphocyte that is is able to respond to a certain challenge. For example, bacteria may cause precursor lymphocytes to differentiate into cytotoxic T-lymphocytes to destroy them, while a virus might cause a differentiation of precursors to a more-prominent B-lymphocytic response in order to produce antibodies that more-effectively deals with circulating viruses.
