The immune cell that allows for subsequent recognition of an antigen resulting in a secondary response is called a memory cell. Memory cells are small, long-lived lymphocytes.

What is a characteristic part of the secondary immune response?

Memory B cells are a characteristic part of the secondary immune response. They are formed during the primary immune response and can quickly recognize and respond to a previously encountered antigen by producing antibodies. This results in a faster and more robust immune response upon subsequent exposure to the same antigen.


Would lack of memory B cells for a particular antigen impact the primary or secondary humoral response?

Lack of memory B cells for a specific antigen would primarily impact the secondary humoral response. Memory B cells play a critical role in mounting a more rapid and robust immune response upon re-exposure to the antigen during a secondary response.


Which cell types initiate a secondary immune response?

Memory B cells and memory T cells are the cell types that initiate a secondary immune response. Memory cells are formed after an initial exposure to a specific pathogen and rapidly respond upon re-exposure, leading to a quicker and more robust immune response.


Why is secondary response more rapid?

Secondary responses are faster because memory B cells generated from the primary response remain in the body and are able to quickly recognize and respond to the same antigen upon re-exposure. This allows for a more rapid and robust immune response, leading to faster production of antibodies and elimination of the pathogen more efficiently.


What cells are responsible for making the secondary immune response work?

A hallmark of immune reponses is memory for specific antigens that have triggered immune responses in the past. Immunological memory is due to the presence of a long- lasting antibodies and very long-lived lymphocytes that arise during proliferation and differentiation of antigen-stimulated B cells anf T cells. Every new encounter with the same anigen results in a rapid proliferation of memory cells. Therefore the antibody titer is far more greater than during a primary response and consist mainly of IgG antibodies. This secondary response.

What immune cell allows for subsequent recognition of an antigen resulting in a secondary response?

White blood cells, or leukocytes. The two basic types of leukocytes are: # phagocytes, cells that destroy invading organisms. # lymphocytes, cells cause the body to remember and recognize previous invaders and help the body destroy them.


What describes the body's recognition of a relatively harmless substance as a dangerous antigen and subsequent mounting of an immune response?

an allergic reaction

How do you spell aknologment?

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT - a recognition or response


What is the single most important event in establishing a primary immune response?

The recognition of an antigen by a naive T or B cell is the most important event in establishing a primary immune response. This recognition leads to activation and proliferation of these cells, resulting in the generation of specific immune responses to combat the antigen.


Would lack of memory B cells for a particular antigen impact the primary or secondary humoral response?

Lack of memory B cells for a specific antigen would primarily impact the secondary humoral response. Memory B cells play a critical role in mounting a more rapid and robust immune response upon re-exposure to the antigen during a secondary response.


Similarities between primary and secondary immune response?

Well...


What is meant by secondary immune response?

when it an infection or something gets past the first immune response then your body uses a different response or after immunisation


Why is secondary response quicker and more robust than primary response?

It depends on which responses you are talking about. In the autonomic system of the body that protects if from harm, the first response is quicker and the secondary response is more robust, and that is because it takes longer to involve more systems in the body to be called into action.


What is the reason for such response?

involuntary response by animal,resulting in a predictable and relatively fixed behaviour pattern.


Does a primary response lead to higher levels of antibodies than does a secondary response?
