Decoy cells
Decoy cells are like fake cells that are used to trick viruses or bacteria. They are made by taking real cells and treating them in a special way so they don't work anymore, but they still look like real cells.
When a virus or bacteria tries to invade the body, it looks for real cells to infect. But if it comes across a decoy cell, it will try to infect that instead. Since the decoy cell doesn't work like a real cell, the virus or bacteria can't replicate and spread.
It's like when you play hide and seek and you use a fake toy to trick your friend into thinking you're hiding there, but you're actually hiding somewhere else. Decoy cells are like the toy and the virus or bacteria are like your friend trying to find you.
Doctors and scientists use decoy cells to help fight infections and diseases. By using decoy cells, they can stop the virus or bacteria from spreading and harming the body.
