Sometimes, though, the bugs use biochemical trickery to disguise themselves and evade antibodies. The acquired immune system's counterstrategy: so-called antigen-presenting cells, including dendritic cells that latch onto invading bugs and strip them of their chemical camouflage.

Penn, on the other hand, was (and still is) the feel-good mid-major story of the year.
