I guess I see more research ahead of me. This is important
stuff but at present its a bit over my head. There are 2 kinds of immune cells Tcells and B cells. T stands for Thymus gland and B stands for bone marrow. The B cell produce the antibodies. The T cells attack the target directly.
Ive heard of CD4 vs CD8 t cells. There usually is a ratio of type 4 to type 8 . I think the 4 is usually higher than the 8 type. In aids the 8 is higher than the four. That is about all I know now. Its a complicated subject
