| 2 | Plasma cells do not have immune suppression capabilities. | Inhibitor cells have the ability to suppress |
| 3 | Plasma cells do not travel to the site of infection | cells whereas lymphoblasts reach the site of infection. |

| 5 | These cells are mainly confined to Peyer's patches, fetal liver and tonsils. | These differentiate in the thymus gland. |
| 6 | Plasma cells do not fight cancer cells. | Whereas killer cells fight cancer cells |
