White blood cells destroy pathogens or inhibit the growth of pathogens. Fever
elevates the temperature of the host of the pathogen in order to kill the pathogen.
Pathogens are identified by T & B cells. B Cells secrete antibodies that target a
specific antigen.
It includes physical barriers (i.e. the skin) that
This is the first and second line of defense.

So the immune system attacks and kills pathogens and not the body cells.
