- - - - Once inside the cell, the mRNA travels to the ribosomes which begins the production of the harmless spike proteins
        
        The spike proteins are then released outside of the cell through active transport
        
        The spike proteins start to travel through the bloodstream which alerts white blood cells.
        
        Macrophages begin to start eating the protein spikes, leaving behind antigens. The antigens begin the immune response.
        
        B-lymphocytes begins the production of antibodies to fight off the antigens left by the macrophages.
        
        Production of t-lymphocytes is ramped up to join the fight against the invaders as well.

        Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins created by B-lymphocytes from exposure to antigens. Antibodies bind to antigens to destroy them, either directly or by signaling to the rest of the immune system.
        
        B-Lymphocytes are another type of white blood cell that is in charge of the creation of antibodies and attacking antigens left behind by the macrophages.
        
        Antigens are small molecules with distinctive surface features unique to the virus or bacteria, and triggers the immune response.
        
        Macrophages are a type of white blood cell that eats up viruses and bacteria that could possibly be harmful to the body. Macrophages leave behind antigens after swallowing the invader.
        
        White blood cells are a major component of the immune system and help fight off infections. There are 3 types; macrophages, B-lymphocytes, and T-lymphocytes
        
        Ribsomes are tiny structures inside a cell that transfer mRNA into chains of amino acids which form proteins that enable the cell to complete it's duties.
