What are the roles of the antibodies in the body's response to infection?
What we consider anti bodies are actually made up of many different types of cells. Basically consisting of B-cells, T-cells, and macrophages. When an area is infected by antigens, or body recognizes that that part of the body is injured we notice how the infected area becomes inflamed. The injured cells will send chemicals which send a distress signal to the rest of the body. The B-cells, are then called in and will get to the point of infection and will divide into 4 cells. One of the cells become a memory cell taking a piece of the infection to the brain where it will be stored to create proper anti-bodies that are specific to that infection. The other three cells becoming plasma cells which help build up around infection creating a perimeter around cell and catching other filaments so that as blood rushes by, the filaments catch and begin to restrict blood flow and movement. Helper T-Cells are then called in, which attach to the infection and begin to consume the infection preventing any movement or spreading. Then chemicals are called for macrophages which come in and actually eat the helper T-cells and infection.

What kind of cell helps the lymphatic system remember an infection so that it can fight the infection better the next time?
There are two types of cell that play roles in adaptive immunity. Memory T and memory B cells. These cells are produced in vast numbers when a person's immune system is activated, and these cells float around the blood and lymphatic system for months (and even years!) after the primary infection. When person is exposed to secondary infection, the immune system 'recognises' the pathogenic particles and has a heightened response to the infection.
