Different types of white blood cells fight infection in different ways: Macrophages are white blood cells that swallow up and digest germs and dead or dying cells. The macrophages leave behin d parts of the invading germs, called “antigens”. The body identifies antigens as dangerous and stimulates antibodies to attack them.
