Your Body’s Internal Defense

How does the immune respond to a viral infection?
1. Macrophages engulf the cells that have been
infected by viruses.
2. The macrophages signal T cells and B cells.
3. The B cells produce antibodies, which are
substances that destroy germs. The T cells help
destroy the virus-infected cells.
4. Antibodies attach to other viruses outside of the
cells. This signals other cells to destroy the viruses.
