Raw LLM Responses

You've got antibodies, which attach themselves to the receptors on the virus and make it so it can't "dock" with your cells (kinda like putting a thick mitten on over your hand, you lose your ability to really grasp onto things). Then you've got macrophages which roam around and literally gobble up anything that doesn't have a protein on its surface saying it's friendly. Then you've got helper T cells which dock with a macrophage that has recently eaten something, "read" the proteins it expresses from that meal, and then turn around and dock with your B cells to tell them to produce and store antibodies that are more custom-fitted to the virus than the "general purpose" antibodies your initial immune response released. Then those B cells chill. And wait. And lurk. And if the immune system encounters that same virus again, the B cells release all those antibodies they've been sitting on. If you're lucky, the virus hasn't mutated enough for them to be useless or less effective. If you're unlucky, it's like influenza and at best you're only going to get partial effectiveness. That's why we need a new flu vaccine every year. Fucker keeps mutating. This is highly oversimplified, there are actually like at least 40 or 50 types of immune cells and their interaction is more complex, but this is *generally* right.
