White blood cells are an important part of the immune system. They can protect your body from bacteria, viruses and fungi, as well as abnormal cells and other foreign bodies. In leukemia, white blood cells do not function like normal white blood cells. They may also divide too fast and eventually crowd out normal cells. @oncologistdodulmondal

White blood cells are mainly produced in the bone marrow, but certain types of white blood cells can also be produced in the lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus. After formation, white blood cells circulate in the body in the blood and lymph (fluid that circulates through the lymphatic system), concentrated in the lymph nodes and spleen. @oncologistdodulmondal
