It's what they do: Your body is continuously under attack from microbial invaders. Picture a wwii movie where the #s of marines/af/navy/army troops fluctuate by campaign. Polys are marines who confront bacteria. Lymph special skill is viral and immunity work. Eos are specialized to parasites & allergens and monos may work as elite problem solvers, depending on where they are. The spleen houses reserves.
