The process of apoptosis in B cells. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of lymphocyte death by apoptosis. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of lymphocyte death by apoptosis. Any process that modulates the occurrence or rate of lymphocyte death by apoptosis. The process of apoptosis in a T cell. The process of apoptosis in a lymphocyte. The process of apoptosis in a natural killer cell. A form of programmed cell death that begins when a cell receives internal or external signals that trigger the activity of proteolytic caspases, proceeds through a series of characteristic stages typically including rounding-up of the cell, retraction of pseudopodes, reduction of cellular volume (pyknosis), chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis), and plasma membrane blebbing (but maintenance of its integrity until the final stages of the process), and ends with the death of the cell. Cell death resulting from activation of endogenous cellular processes.
