How does your body fight mumps?

When the body is exposed to the mumps virus, the immune system responds by activating T-cells and producing antibodies specifically targeting the virus. These antibodies help neutralize the virus and prevent it from infecting more cells. Additionally, the body may produce inflammatory chemicals to recruit more immune cells to the site of infection, aiding in the elimination of the virus. Memory cells are also generated, providing long-term immunity against future infections.
