After the T-cells introduce antigens they're carrying to the B lymphocytes,
the B-cells divide and begin producing the appropriate antibodies. The anti-
body's compatibility with the antigen is a flawless example of creation.

man. When a stranger enters the body, a state of alarm is initi-
ated. The B lymphocytes immediately perceive this alarm and
swiftly head to the enemy's position, absorb all the proteins of
the enemy they catch—a virus, for example—and break it
down. They then attach fragments of the virus onto the sur-
face of their own cells. Once matters have come to an end, the
components of the virus remain on the B lymphocytes.
These components are the antigens that identify the
enemy to whom they belong.
