| T cells received their name from the "t" in thymus, a gland in the chest that shrinks and disappears as people grow into adulthood. The T lymphocytes are derived from the thymus in fetal life, childhood, and young adulthood before it atrophies. These cells are critical to a variety of immune functions. T-lymphocytes that have several functions, including assisting B-lymphocytes to make antibodies and attack virus-infected cells; and natural killer (NK) cells that can attack tumor cells. |

| Because leukemic cells are thought to originate from normal T-lymphocyte precursors arrested at early stages of ontogeny, every pathway that ensures homeostasis of a functional immune system is a potential target for disruption; still, the fundamental issue of how many different mutations are required for malignant transformation to the leukemic state remains to be delineated. |
