Which cells make you immune to a disease that you were previously exposed to?

"Memory B cells" of the immune system stay in your body after an infection to enable quick immune responses to the disease-causing organism (antigen) if later exposed again. Antibodies are proteins made by the type of white blood cells called B-cells/"plasma cells" in response to the presence of antigens. The antibodies attach to the B-cells as "B-cell Receptors" to activate them, and can cause them to become either the memory B-cells or more plasma cells.

Does radiation kill the immune cells or help them function better?
Radiation can have both suppressive and stimulatory effects on the immune system. In high doses, radiation can damage or kill immune cells, leading to immune suppression. However, at lower doses, radiation can actually stimulate the immune response by promoting the release of immune-stimulating molecules and activating immune cells. The overall impact on immune function depends on the dose, duration, and tissues/organs exposed to radiation.
What disease is when body attacks own cells?
An auto-immune response.
What kind of pathogen is crohn's diesase?
Crohn's disease is an auto-immune disorder where the immune system attacks the cells of the small intestines. It is treated by monthly infusions of Remicade, which suppresses the immune system.
Is immunity a resistance of an organism to a disease?
The body's ability to defend against disease is called as Immunity. There are two types of Immunity. Innate or by birth and which you aqua-ire. Aqua-re has twocomponents1) Humeral 2) cell mediated.
What is the immune disorder that occurs when the production or activity of immune cells or complement is abnormal?
The immune disorder that occurs when the production or activity of immune cells or complement is abnormal is called primary immunodeficiency. It is a group of genetic disorders that affect the immune system's ability to effectively defend the body against infections. This can lead to recurrent or severe infections and other immune-related complications.
What are the immune system cells that can recognize and commence an attack on a pathogen that has previously infected the individual?
Memory cells
Which disease is the result of the immune system attacking cells of the pancreas?
pancreatitis
Sentence with immune?
The immune system identifies, remembers, attacks and destroys disease-causing invaders or infected cells.
What disease causes the body to attack pathogens and its normal cells?
Auto-immune
What disease will appear if there is an elevation of white blood cells?
White blood cells increase in number to fight an infection or 'disease'. It is part of the body's immune response.
What role in leukocyte in the immune response?
White blood cells, or leukocytes are cells of the immune system involved in defending the body against both infectious disease and foreign materials.
How do vaccines work and prevent diseases?
Vaccines work by alerting the immune system to a possibly harmful agent before one is actually exposed to it. The alerted immune system prepares antibodies and in some cases antibody coated T white blood cells that can fight a real infection if later exposed to the actual disease organism. The immune system will remember how to make these antibodies and T cells again if ever needed in the future. Without the vaccine, the infection might be dangerously along in its course before the immune system alerted to it and began to even produce any antibodies, and producing T cells takes even longer.
What is Graft versus host disease?
What does the term "Graft versus host disease" mean? Immunologic reaction involving the attack of host cells by donor immune cells.
Which kind of diabetes is considered an auto immune disease?
in type 1 diabetes, the islet cells of Langerhans, a group of cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, are destroyed.

What fight disease in your body?
your body has white blood cells which are built up into a immune system these fight the diseases and vaccines boost the system.
