Antibodies stick to any viruses or infections. They don't attack, but they are like homing devices. They track the diseases so white blood cells (the attackers) know where the diseases are.

Is antibodies the same as white blood cells?

No, not even close. White blood cells are cells that circulate in your blood and lymph. B-cells are a type of white blood cell that start producing antibodies when they are shown what the antibody is needed for. For example, if your body has a bacterial infection, other cells 'pick up' debris from these bacterial cells, and 'show' these debris pieces to the B-cells. These B-cells then transform into 'plasma cells', which start producing antibodies specific for that particular bacteria. Antibodies basically 'stick' to any of that same bacteria that they find around your body, acting as a flag, so that your other immune cells can find it and attack it.
