While playing the game, students learn about monocytes, neutrophils and macrophages (white blood cells), the circulatory system, connective tissue and chemical signals (C3a and CXCL8). Immune Attack was created by the Federation of American Scientists.

Immune Attack is quite a large download, about 0.5 GB, so make sure you have a fast internet connection and sufficient disk space to play. The game can be downloaded without registering.
