There are 2 types of white blood cells. They are called B cells and T cells. B cells put a "mark" on viruses. Then, T cells "kill" the viruses. BUT, if the B cells haven't "seen" the virus before. It will just "keep it's eyes open" (they don't really have eyes). If the same virus comes again, the B cell will remember and summon the T cells. Then, the T cells attack. Finally, it is game over for the virus.
