Antibodies against pathogens:
Antibodies are like keys and will only be
Able to destroy pathogens with the matching
Antigens.
Blood stream:
When a pathogen enters the blood stream the
Immune system sends B cells. There antibodies
Connect to the pathogens antigens. The B cell then
Divides.
Zoomed in blood stream:
After B cells divide they make plasma cells
Which only make antibodies straight into the
blood stream.
