...cells, meanwhile, are stimulated to produce antibodies, which immunologists believe can be tailor-made to interact with each of the millions of different organisms a human may encounter in his lifetime. The antibodies lock onto foreign substances, making them far more susceptible to ingestion by macrophages and other scavenger cells...
