White blood cells on the other hand are your second line of defence and they find diseases/pathogens and find them, some may just 'eat up' the pathogens but others will make antibodies which put antigens on the pathogens and kill them.That is what i think as i have just done about it in science! Year 8well it is quite obvious whrn you think about it.............THEY ARE BOTH CELLS. see the simplist way of doing it just think what they both have in common plus blah blah blah blah blah!EASY!!tfjtfhbdgffhg
