In this video, I want to talk to you about how the immune system relates to The Game of Thrones.

There’s a constant game going on between your leukocytes—white blood cells—and pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, fungus, and mold. Pathogens are microbes that cause disease.

Your body has created a mutually beneficial relationship with a certain microbe we know as friendly bacteria. Friendly bacteria have become a very important part of our immune system and defending against unfriendly microbes.

You have guards that monitor your “wall” 27/4. These guards are called macrophages. Macrophages are large cells that eat viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens.

The “commander” of the immune system is a type of cell called T-helper cells. T-helper cells are created in the thymus, and they train the white blood cells so they can defend the body against pathogens. Some powerful viruses, like the HIV virus, go after the commander T-helper cells.

There are two parts of the immune system: innate (the part you’re born with) and the acquired (the part that needs training). You have to expose your immune system to microbes to train and strengthen them.

Another type of immune cell is the T-regulatory cell. This kind of cell helps determine which microbes are good and which are bad. They also regulate the attack on pathogens.

B-cells are bone marrow cells that release antibodies. As these cells interact with pathogens, they develop a memory on how to better defeat pathogens in the future—finding their weaknesses.

Your own body can create antibodies against its own healthy tissues. These are called autoantibodies, which are a key part of autoimmune diseases. These autoantibodies are like friendly fire or traitors.

When cells come damaged, they are programmed to die to prevent turning into cancer cells. However, they can become immortal, like zombies, leading to disease. T-killer cells and natural kills cells help prevent this from happening.

Certain pathogens can disguise themselves as healthy cells, which allows them to infiltrate the body undetected. Other pathogens can create a protective barrier using calcium, also known a biofilm.
