Liquid of Life

After this stage, the B-cells require support. Helper T-cells,
created for this purpose, immediately become aware of this
need. The T-cells recognize the B-cells carrying the antigen
components and approach and knock against them. During
this maneuver, the B lymphocytes release a substance that
contains a string of directives to the T-cells, in which it is spec-
ified that the antigen in question belongs to an enemy, and that
its identity needs to be shown to other T and B-cells—in other
words, to other police units. 48 The
helper T-cells move away as soon as
they receive this directive.
