Neutrophils and lymphocytes are both classified as types of white blood cells (leukocytes) {fact:1, fact:3} that are involved in immune responses {fact:2, fact:5} and are protected from oxidative damage by vitamin C {fact:4, fact:6}. Furthermore, they play distinct roles in the progression of inflammation, where lymphocytes replace neutrophils as the condition shifts from acute to chronic [1].

claimVitamin C stimulates the production and function of leukocytes (white blood cells), specifically neutrophils, lymphocytes, and phagocytes.
claimNeutrophils, mononuclear phagocytes, and lymphocytes accumulate vitamin C to high concentrations, which protects these immune cell types from oxidative damage.
claimNeutrophils, which attack foreign bacteria and viruses, are the primary immune cell type stimulated by vitamin C, though lymphocytes and other phagocytes are also affected.

claimThe most common cells of the immune system are lymphocytes (T cells, B cells, and NK cells), neutrophils, and monocytes/macrophages, all of which are types of white blood cells.
Chronic Inflammation - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf ncbi.nlm.nih.gov 1 fact
claimDuring the progression of inflammation from acute to chronic, the composition of white blood cells changes as macrophages and lymphocytes replace short-lived neutrophils.
