What: "The immune system is understood more and more as a second brain, Lymphocytes are like traveling neurons, they are linked not by synapses, but by binding proteins which help to recognize each other. Nerves are effective because they are connected at the end to muscles, in the same way, the immune system is effective because at the end of the chain, it has the group of B-cells which can act directly by liberating antibodies which will smother and suffocate the bacteria and finally destroy them. Besides, the brain develops a feeling of identity in the same way, the immune system has a very accurate individuality, hence the rejection of the transplants."
