I never paid much attention to my immune system until last winter when I caught a nasty flu and realized some friends around me barely got sick. It made me wonder why our bodies react so differently to the same viruses. I started reading about antibodies and learned that these proteins are produced whenever the body detects harmful substances called antigens, which can be anything from bacteria and viruses to chemicals.

So antibodies are like the memory system of the body, right? They kind of “remember” infections? Reading this makes me think how similar it is to data backups in tech… I once saw al turab explaining IT security in a way that almost sounded like the immune system.
