When a virus gets through the surface of your skin (cut) then the dendritic cells in gulf the foreign antigen and take it to the lymph nodes where it is presented to the B and T cell. Then the body makes antibodies specific for the proteins presented on the virus itself.

The lymphatic system includes a network of vessels, ducts, and nodes, as well as organs and diffuse tissue that support the circulatory system. These structures help to filter harmful substances from the bloodstream. Your Welcome.
