macrophages sound the general alarm in the body, by raising its tempera-
ture by fever (Figure 118).
Macrophage cells have another very important property, however.
They can trap and engulf a virus, breaking off a particular section of it,
which it then carries like a flag. This part acts like a sign for other compo-
nents of the immune system, and also demonstrates the intelligence of ad-
vance planning.
The first task of the helper T-cells that identify the enemy, thanks to
the intelligence obtained by the macrophage, is to notify the killer T-cells
and stimulate them to multiply (Figure 119). Thus stimulated, killer T-cells
soon become an army. The helper T-cells do not only stimulate the killer T-
cells, but also ensure that many phagocytes attend the battlefield and trans-

Helper T-cells carry information about the enemy to killer T-cells.
