The transformation of a normal cell into a virus transformed cell

# data[].attributes.body
Viral transformation is the alteration of growth or indeterminate reproduction of cells, this is the viral components entering the cell which causes the cell structure to adjust and become a virus transformed cell. The transformation can be damaging to the cell.

There are 3 types of viral transformations, 1st of which being persistent, 2nd being cytocidal (tending to kill individual cells), and 3rd being transforming infections.

The sprout contains high levels of folate, magnesium, phosphorus and vitamin k, and then after a bit of time it becomes a tree and producing flower and the flower turns into a fruit and the fruit has seeds in them meaning they can plant again and the process restart

Transforming the immune system in response to a vaccine

# data[].attributes.body
Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins produced as part of the body’s immune response to infection. They help eliminate disease-causing microbes from the body, for instance by directly destroying them or by blocking them from infecting cells.

Antibodies work by recognizing and sticking to specific proteins, such as those found on the surfaces of viruses and bacteria, in a highly specific way. When the body encounters a microbe for the first time, immune cells produce antibodies that specifically recognize proteins associated with that particular microbe.
