That's right.

Our immune system could be considered divided into two components. And that was the part of the immune system that produces antibodies. It gives rise to a a memory effect that we used for immunizing people, and that's our B cells. That's so-called the adaptive immune system.

Those cells adapt to the exposure to something and remember that so that the next time you're exposed, they will produce something that helps to detoxify it, an antibody.

And people have thought historically over decades about immune system is that's where the action really is, is in the adaptive immune system. But there's another part of the immune system that's the first level of the immune system, which is called the innate immune system.

And yet goes all the way back. Plants have an innate immune system. So this is definitely ancient. It's phylogenetically conserved. It goes through all different insects and into organisms of all types. And it has been said until recently, and when I say recently, I mean within the last 10 years, that this part of our immune system is kind of dumb. It doesn't... it can't learn anything.

Whatever you were given genetically for your innate immune system, that's what you got. And it's the first line of defense. And those cells basically just respond by engulfing foreigners and killing them by certain kinds of biological processes. And you just hope it's working well. because there's not much you can do about it if it's not.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Exactly.

foreign invaders the macrophage which is a member of those cell type in the innate immune system has these arms as it's a big floppy job of the hut type cell and it puts its arms around foreign stuff and then it squeezes it and then it releases chemical the klebanoff reaction which as you said are hydrogen peroxide and oxidants that kill it so it's chemical warfare it's like pac-man i think of macrophages like pac-man they just go around but you know gobbling up the bad stuff
