| Vaccinations | They are inoculatuions of dead or weakend disease organisms that stimulates the body's immune system to produce active immunity. It is how antibody production is stimulated. |

| Infectous Agents | They are spread by infection, they tend to spreqad quickly and to many people. |
| Cancerous Cells | They are once normal cells for some reason multiply without control. Cancer cells probably form in the blood continuously but the immune system recognizes abnormal protiens on the surface of cancer cells as antigens. T cells search the body and destroy cancer cells. |
