      Thank you for your question Vicky! There are five main types of white blood cells. They are neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes and lymphocytes. Lymphocytes include B cells, T cells and NK cells.

      I have nothing much to add to this. Other than within those cells are all sorts of variations particularly of T-cells
