Doubling time of naive lymphocyte before differentiation into effector cell

Range	6-12 hours
Organism	Unspecified
Reference	Kenneth M. Murphy, Paul Travers, Mark Walport, Janeway's Immunobiology, 7th edition 2008 Garland Science pp.25
Comments	An enlarged lymphocyte, the lymphoblast, normally duplicates itself 2-4 times every 24 hours for 3-5 days to give rise to approximately 1000 effector cells. After a naive lymphocyte has been activated, it takes 4-5 days before clonal expansion is complete and the lymphocytes have differentiated into effector cells
