You're close, the white blood cells actually fight bacteria and infection. You see, blood is made up of these white blood cells, but blood is also made up of things called platelets, now these are the ones that cause blood clots. Some are not harmful but most are. Say that you have a blood clot in a blood vessel going to the brain, this is extremely dangerous because it can lead to a stroke. Same thing for if you have one going to the heart, it can cause a heart attack.

Platelets make blood clot by shooting out little chemicals called fibrins at the wound.

What cell make antibodies?
White blood cells make antibodies called lymphocytes or B cells
What do white blood cells make that fight infections?
Antibodies
The disease fighters in your blood that make antibodies are white blood cells?
nothing
Which cells make antibodies?
B lymphocytes are the white blood cells that produce plasma cells that produce antibodies. Antibodies are special proteins that recognize foreign materials and help the body destroy or neutralize them. The type of white blood cell that secretes antibodies to kill microorganisms is called lymphocytes. The other kind of white blood cell is called the phagocyte, which kills pathogens by engulfing them (basically, "eating" the microbe).
What are lypthocytes?
Do you mean lymphocytes? Lymphocytes are white blood cells which make chemicals called antibodies. Antibodies destroy bacteria which get into the blood. They give us immunity to diseases.
How does an immune response starts after a macrophage attacts a pathogen?
The blood cells detect the pathogen The pathogens release toxins The blood cells make antibodies to fit the toxins ( they have to be a specific shape) The antibodies stick the bacteria together ready to be engulfed by he white blood cells The White blood cells remember the antibodies needed for that pathogen so they can make antibodies quicker next time the pathogen invades
What type of white blood cells make antibodies?
There are two types of white blood cell. The kind which secrete antibodies to kill microbes are called lymphocytes. The other type, which engulf microorganisms, are called phagocytes.*Specifically, the type of lymphocyte (white blood cell) that produces antibodies would be plasma cells. After a B cell (a type of lymphocyte) undergoes clonal selection, the result is the formation of a clone of B cells that consists of plasma cells and memory B cells. Plasma cells secrete antibodies and memory B cells do not secrete antibodies.
How does the immune system fight so many diseases?
the immune system fights diseases by creating more white blood cells which trigger more white blood cells that make antibodies.
What happened when a vaccine enters the bloodstream?
white blood cells treat the vaccine as an intruder and make antibodies to fight it.
What happens when vaccine enter the bloodstream?
white blood cells treat the vaccine as an intruder and make antibodies to fight it.
What happens when a vaccine enters a bloodstream?
white blood cells treat the vaccine as an intruder and make antibodies to fight it.
What do white blood cells make to fight diseases?
antibodies to fight bacteria and antitoxins to neutralise the toxins produced by bacteria.
