B cells are the cells for fighting off viruses. When they attack the virus they get absorbed by the body there nick name is the one time only fighters. Your body makes more every time you are sick. the other cool thing is that your B-cells multiply and after you are healthy again their is a small amount of the B-cells that had multiplied and they are call memorie B-cells and they are their for when you get sick again it will not be as bad as the first time because your body would be fighting it before you know it. Scientist also have made a vaccine for virus such as chicken pox and the measles. I have heard also the controversy of make a vaccine for the regular flu virus or hold on that and make the Swine vaccine.
I have had many virus growing up and have been amuned to many virus by have the Memory B-cells attack it. such as the GARDICLE, Meningococcal and many more that I can't remember.
