the diversity of antigen receptors in both B cells and T cells is a result of shuffling and rearranging a few hundred versions of several smaller gene segments. This process is called genetic recombination.

∙ 14y agoThere are many defense mechanisms the human body has to prevent illness/infection. Your skin is unable to be penetrated by bacteria and viruses, which is why you need to wash any cut of scape or wound to prevent infection. You have hairs in your nose to help keep out foreign particles that would let germs in. When you inhale a foreign object your body senses it and trys to cough it out. There are cilia in your lungs that push foreign particle out. Your body also has an intricate defense system to kill any foreign bacteria or virus that doesn't belong using leukocytes etc. to kill them.
