CELLS The immune system is a complex network of cells and chemicals. It's mission is to protect us against foreign organisms and substances. The cells in the immune system have the ability to recognize something as either "self" or "invader" and they try to get rid of
anything that is an invader many different kind of cells , and hundreds of different chemicals , must be coordinated for the immune system to function smoothly.
Recent scientific advances in human stem cell research have brought into fresh focus the dignity and status of the human embryo. A clearer relationship between two cells that serve our body's natural defense mechanisms against through new research natural killer T (NKT) cell and B cells are two of many immune cell type that work in tandem to help the body fight against foreign infectious agents.

NKT cells have very potent functions and are crucial to the immune system despite making up only a small percentage of white blood cells. While scientists have established that NKT cells can promote the production of antibodies by B cells to combat infection, little is known about the effect of B cells on NKT cells until now. The immune system is the body's defense against infectious organisms and other invaders. Through a series of steps called the immune response, the immune system attacks organisms and substances that invade body systems and cause disease. A number of different cells are considered phagocytes. The most common type is the neutrophil, which primarily fights bacteria. If doctors are worried about a bacterial infection, they might order a blood test to see if a patient has an increased number of neutrophils triggered by the infection. Other types of phagocytes have their own jobs to make sure that the body responds appropriately to a specific type of
