There are 25 million to a billion different T-cells in your body. Each cell has a unique T-cell receptor that can fit with only one kind of antigen, like a lock that can fit with only one shape of key. Antigens and receptors work a lot like a lock and key.

Motivating operation. Motivating operation (MO) is a behavioristic concept introduced by Jack Michael in 1982. It is used to explain variations in the effects in the consequences of behavior. Most importantly, a MO affects how strongly the person is reinforced or punished by the consequences of their behavior.
Positive reinforcement is giving something pleasant after a behavior. 1  This increases the probability that the behavior will continue. Examples are: 2  Having a job and going to work every day to receive a paycheck. 3  Receiving praise after a musical performance would increase the amount that you perform.
