Inside every human body, there are roughly
37.2 trillion cells each and every one
working hard to maintain a healthy, effective system 24 over seven.
And they all take their jobs very seriously.
Welcome to the inside of a human body.
Whoa.
Whoa. What is this place? Oh.
Why isn't anybody around? It's so quiet.
Oh, scary.
Oh. Oh.
Huh?
Come on, Star. What the heck is that thing?
Just behind me.
Somebody help me.
Ha ha ha.
Prepare to die.
Hey. You all right?
Wouldn't be dead if it wasn't for you.
Sure glad I could help. So I've got to say,
kind of a rough area to be wandering around in.
What are you doing here? Oh,
I'm a T-cell. I mean, almost a T-cell.
Technically, I guess I'm a naive T-cell.
I'm supposed to be out here on patrol,
but nobody said there'd be zombies here. How'd they get this way?
Naive T-cell. An immature T-cell who has
yet to experience an encounter with an antigen.
Also, how'd you pass through the wall like that? It's called transmigration.
And these poor guys, they used to be just common cells.
Question is, how did they get infected?
We are so stuck.
Three, four. We are working for you.
Another day of sending 0202 all throughout
the body, every nook and cranny filled.
It is confusing and I'm lost. I'm lost.
Though we may seem hopeless, we are selfless work for you and.
Let's get down to work. Let's get down to work every day.
Struggle. But I gotta pull through. Oh,
another day I'm out here slicing, slicing, filthy germs and viruses.
Show your ugly face Won't let them get away.
I'll chase and chase some. We are
professionals for cells have worked for you. And so.
Let's get down to work. Let's get down to work.
Every day is a battlefield. You better
prepare 37 trillion and we are only two. Still, I.
No, we don't know who you are.
Oh, you see, we're working hard. All
of us together are supporting you with all of our hearts.
No matter what kind of drive to risk our lives,
we always take pride in what we do and help comfort.
Are you working? Yes, I'm working. Are you working? Working for you.
Influenza.
They've all been infected by a virus.
Virus? That's right. An influenza virus. The influenza virus.
A virus that triggers a dangerous and infectious
disease falls into three categories A,
B and C causes symptoms such as fevers over 100 degrees,
headaches, joint pain and severe muscle cramping.
The strain binds together with innocent cells, then uses them to multiply.
Our only hope is to kill them
before they can spread you and me. Let's go.
Huh? Hey, there's no way I can't fight a virus.
Hey, listen up, kid. You're a T-cell.
Act like one. It's cool. I'm just gonna hang out right here.
You do your thing, and I'll stay out of your way.
That could really use a hand here
on Kid before the others show. They're too scared.
Don't want to die. Oh, my, my.
It's a mess down here. It's so
silly how quickly the infected multiply.
What is that? Now then. It's time to get to work.
Watch out.
You boys can relax now.
Uh, right. Let's take a look, shall we?
We have a type B on our hands.
Macrophage reporting in. I can now confirm
a type B influenza virus has invaded this body.
Understood. Thanks for calling in. Keep up the good fight. Okay. Goodbye.
Commander Helper t that was macrophage with
an update on the antigen condition. Let's have it then.
We've just received Intel that a Type B virus has invaded.
That's correct, sir. The killer T cells
have been ordered to immediately aggregate.
I've notified each organ through dendritic cell of the imminent threat.
The killer T cells should be here
in no time at all to give you a helping hand.
Well, all right. That's great news. What?
The killer t cells, Mr. White, Blood cell. Ms.. Macrophage.
Help me. I'm sorry. Could you please,
please, please tell them I brought down.
Well, because if you don't tell them, then the zombies will.
Looks like this is the place, boys.
Let's kick this virus scum out. The killer
T cell division is here to slaughter every last one
macrophage. Thank you for your work. Thank you for your work.
Oh, of course. Thank you as well.
Hey. Got the call, too? Yeah.
Hey, naive.
Halt! You let someone else do all your work again, huh?
When are you going to man up
and learn to pull your own weight?
And you got the nerve to call yourself a T-cell like us?
No, please. Oh, so sorry. How do you
ever expect that makes sense now?
They sure like to bust his chops.
Oh, the backup has arrived. Check it out.
There's still a whole horde of them over there.
You better slaughter at least one of them this time,
you little punk. You got that? Come on.
Hey, could you give me a Yank? Sure.
Don't leave a single one.
All right, listen up, T-cells.
I got some memories. Let's see. Last
time we tussled with some influenza,
we learned the virus's proliferation speed far
exceeds that of any common bacteria.
Right. Thanks. Memory T-cell. A lot of pink.
Kill them all. Got another common cell dies here today.
Send those viruses back to where they came.
Get the game. Do your best. Right.
I've got to try to give it all I can. I know I can do it. I'm
a self, too, just like the senpai. Naive? No.
Naive. You okay? You. Are you trying to get yourself killed?
I don't think he's going to stop.
Hey, get back here. Such an anxious boy.
Just forget him. He got a virus to kill.
Well, this can't be anything good. Excuse me.
Why is everyone freaking out? They just
announced that there's a massive viral outbreak up there.
Thank you. They were supposed to do some pie.
That's a good question.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Hey. Hey. What's the matter? Huh? It's okay.
You're a T-cell, right? Did something happen?
Dendritic cell. Their role is to prevent
bacteria and virus infected cells that have
invaded the body as antigen fragments.
Once identified, they notify other immune system cells of the dangerous breach.
Were you sent here to gather some reinforcements?
Okay, I'll make the call right now. Huh?
Let's see. That's not it. I ran away.
How could I ever fight those monsters? It's just.
I'm not. Why? Why aren't strong enough
or brave enough to fight like them? Like my spies.
All I do is get in the way.
This world would be better off without a weakling like me.
None of that's true. Come on, little T-cell.
Chin up. All right. You're not alone here.
Nobody starts out strong, you know? We grow. Uh.
Got the chills. Why don't you take
a look at this? I think it'll help.
What are these real? These pictures are of my sim pies.
Just like I said, everyone has to grow.
Your own pies were no different than you when they were younger.
They were all naive t cells at one time.
Just like me. They're even crying. And I've
got plenty more pictures from when they were little. Really?
I'm covered in goosebumps. What's happening to you?
Did the virus infects you? There's just
no way It feels like a cold,
dead hand reaching out of the darkness of my past.
No. I know it's rough the way
your sent pie's give you a hard time,
but it's because they see themselves in
you. Because they see your potential.
Hey, naive. Halt! When are you going
to man up and learn to pull your own weight?
And you got the nerve to call yourself a t cell like us.
Come on. I got the game.
I had no idea.
So don't worry. There's nothing to be afraid of.
I promise. We've all got your back.
We work together. White blood cell goes
on patrol in order to spot the intruders.
Macrophage relays information on anyone they find.
With that information, Commander Helper t can make decisions.
And the killer tees go in to finish the job.
See they take pride in their work.
They're your friends, and you need each other to get by.
So listen, whatever you think you have to do, you can do it.
I. I'm ready to do my part.
The.
Encouraging T cells and giving them the confidence to activate.
I guess you could say that's my job.
Ha ha.
Cells at work.
Cells at work. Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh.
Virus is spreading so fast.
Influenza virus proliferation. The influenza virus is said
to multiply by 100 after eight hours
inside the body and by 1 million after a single day.
Starting to get pretty hot in here.
Oh.
Affected.
Let's get out of here.
Yeah.
Oh,
man. Keep coming.
There's no freaking end to these guys.
Oh, everyone, I'd like to apologize for
my earlier behavior. I am deeply ashamed.
Now I've overcome the weakness that held
me back. And I returned, newly activated.
Now I stand as the effector T-cell
effector t cell. The state of naive T cell takes after activation.
She's been activated, and I've also proliferated.
There's just so many. Nice. I always
knew that kid had it in him.
Who's ready to kick butt and take names? Those guys.
Are you kidding me? Mind if I join in?
Sorry it took so long. I've been
a little busy whipping up some antibodies.
B-cell the antibody producing cell, a type
of lymphocyte that fights antigens such as bacteria
and viruses by producing weapons called antibodies.
Never fear the artilleries here. We'll put
them down in no time at all.
Let's do it here. Where are you guys even listening? T-cells.
What do you say we wipe out this entire contagion ourselves? Yeah.
Oh, take that. And that. And that. And that.
And so with the tireless
and diligent efforts of the immune cells have to be.
The battle against the virus finally began to turn.
The fight is getting rough. This is
no time to be cooking dinner.
They need our help. Stop the nutrients. Pass on the stomach's energy.
All right, It's time to act. Hydration levels are well within limits.
Launch the sweat. Cool. The body surface. Launching sweat shirt.
Thanks to the teamwork between each. And the alliance of every cell.
Yes. One week later, the influenza virus.
Finally seemed to vanish from the body.
You did it, kid. You're a full fledged T-cell now. Thank you.
Oh, really? They gotta act
like it wasn't my antibodies that saved the day. Technically. Guess not.
Raise your fists. Killer T cell division.
Ain't no cell or virus stands a chance
against us. Ha ha ha ha. Are.
I will always be grateful. Glad I could help.
Hey, guys. Over there.
It's a virus. Well, how about that? Looks like a
new one. Managed to sneak in. What a fool. You think he'd get
the hint after millions of his friends got neutralized?
No reason he should suffer when I can
annihilate him in a single blow.
All right, let's reel it back in.
Would go say goodnight. He.
Mhm. Oh.
What the. The antibodies aren't working. That would mean. Oh, no.
Could this be Type A influenza? Type A influenza.
This virus features numerous internal mutations and is prone
to triggering epidemics on a global scale.
This is no good at all. Come in.
Dendritic cell. This is macrophage calling. Just
wanted to report that we've been invaded
by a type A influenza virus this time.
Hey, so I'm going to go whip up some new antibodies.
You guys are really tough. You probably got this far.
Whoa, wait a sec. Where do you think you're going?
Right. Right. Understood.
Yes. Hello. This is dendritic cell calling.
Requesting reinforcements, please. Right, right, right. Oh, no, of course.
Hahahahahahahahaha. Keep
Today's snack is glycogen, ice
cream and a sweet sugary pastry.
Be careful not to overeat. Okay. On the next
episode of Cells at Work, Food poisoning.
Wait, don't tell me that it's me. Of course it's not.
