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 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.


What is Responsible for the activation of the inflammatory response?

The activation of the inflammatory response is typically triggered by the recognition of pathogens or tissue damage by the immune system. This recognition leads to the release of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and chemokines, which promote inflammation by recruiting immune cells to the site of infection or injury.


Which immunoglobulin is found secreted in the secondary response?

There are two immunoglobulins in exocrine secretions: lgA & lgE


What is the secondary response to invasion by the same microbe?

The secondary response to invasion by the same microbe is more rapid and robust due to memory T and B cells that were generated during the primary response. This leads to a quicker and more effective elimination of the invading microbe, providing long-lasting immunity against future infections by the same microbe.


Development of a secondary immune response is based on populations of?

Memory B cells and memory T cells, which have been previously exposed to a specific pathogen or antigen. These cells can rapidly recognize and respond to the same pathogen upon re-exposure, leading to a faster, stronger, and more targeted immune response. This is the basis for the faster and more effective immune response seen during a secondary immune response.

The immune cell that allows for subsequent recognition of an antigen resulting in a secondary response is called an?

Memory cell. Memory cells are a type of immune cell that remember specific antigens upon initial exposure, allowing for a faster and more effective response upon subsequent exposure to the same antigen.


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


Which is more rapid primary or secondary immune response?

Secondary Immune Response is more rapid.


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.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT - a recognition or response

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?
