Once the white blood cells realise that there is a pathogen (unwanted microbe) in the body, it tracks it down and tries to destroy it. They do this by fully engulfing the microbe or sending antibodies to stick to the microbe therefore making it harmless.

The white blood cell then remembers this pathogen so that it is prepared if it comes again.
