The white blood cells then produce antibodies to match the shape of the antigens. The antigens on the surface of pathogenic cells are different from those on the surface of your own cells. This enables your immune system to distinguish pathogens from cells that are part of your body.he white blood cells then produce antibodies to match the shape of the antigens.

The first view is a good way to start thinking about logarithms: logarithms are exponents. That's the view introduced in this section. Another view is that logarithmic functions âundoâ exponential functions, or (more briefly) logs âundoâ exponents. and is the subject of more advanced lessons.
The natural logarithm of a number is its logarithm to the base of the mathematical constant e, where e is an irrational and transcendental number approximately equal to 7000271828182845899â 2.718281828459. The natural logarithm of x is generally written as ln x, loge x, or sometimes, if the base e is implicit, simply log x. Parentheses are sometimes added for clarity, giving ln(x), loge(x) or log(x). This is done in particular when the argument to the logarithm is not a single symbol, to prevent ambiguity.
