I read about this process in the Immune book by Dettmer. Your dendritic cells are specialized to ingest pathogens, rip them apart with peroxide, then push their broken parts into cellular windows all over the dendritic cell's surface. The dendritic cell is also traveling in the lymph system while this is going on, and upon arrival at a lymph node it searches for a t-cell that matches some part that it is presenting. Once a t-cell is found that matches, that cell activates and clones thousands of copies. Half of the clones go towards the problem sites (where they trigger "ultra killer mode" on macrophages, among other things), and half stay behind to find and activate b-cells, which will then produce antibodies. This entire process does take a few days. https://www.washingtonpost.com/books/2022/02/17/dettmer-immune/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/books/2022/02/17/dettmer-immu...
