Answer:

The main difference between T cells and B cells is that T cells can only recognize viral antigens outside the infected cells whereas B cells can recognize the surface antigens of bacteria and viruses.

Answer:

B lymphocytes have surface antibodies present in them and they secrete antibodies, while T lymphocytes do not have surface antibodies in them and they secrete lymphokines. B lymphocytes form 20% of the lymphocytes and they form plasma and memory cells while T cells are 80% of the lymphocytes.

Hope this helps!
