What is a primary response?

A primary response is the initial reaction of the immune system to an antigen or pathogen it encounters for the first time. It involves the activation and rapid proliferation of specific immune cells, such as T and B cells, to eliminate the foreign invader. This response helps establish immunological memory for future encounters with the same antigen.


Following a primary immune response the cells that give rise to memory cells are?

Following a primary immune response, memory cells are generated from activated B and T cells. These memory cells can recognize the same pathogen if encountered in the future, leading to a faster and stronger secondary immune response. Memory cells are vital for the immune system's ability to provide long-lasting protection against specific pathogens.


What gives a rise to plasma cells during primary immune response?

B-cells differentiate into plasma cells and memory cells in the primary immune response. The memory cells then produce antibodies.In the secondary, memory cells created in the primary differentiate into plasma cells and secrete antibodies immediately. This is a much faster response, explaining why the secondary response causes a person to suffer less or unnoticeably.


What are the 2 main parts of the immune system?

Primary versus Secondary Immune ResponseThe primary immune response occurs the first time that the immune system comes in contact with the antigen. During this time the immune system has to learn to recognize antigen and how to make antibody against it and eventually gain immunological memory. This primary response takes time (about two weeks) and during this time the person experiences signs of illness. IgM antibodies are the hallmark of a new infection because they are the first antibodies made when a person is exposed to an antigen for the first time. After the body learns to make IgM antibodies, it will start making IgG antibodies to the antigen.The secondary immune response occurs the second time (3rd, 4th, etc.) the person is exposed to the same antigen. At this point immunological memory has been established and the immune system can start making antibodies immediately. The antigen usually is killed within minutes and the person is not aware that he/she was attacked. The antibodies in this response are IgG and IgA or (in the case of allergy IgE).


What role do mast cells play in the immune response?

Mast cells are important in the immune response as they release histamine and other inflammatory mediators in response to allergens and pathogens. This triggers inflammation and helps recruit other immune cells to the site of infection. Overactive mast cell activity can lead to allergic reactions and asthma.

What class of antibody is produced in the primary immune response?

The class of immunoglobulin that is produced in the primary immune response is Immmunoglobulin M (IgM). On secondary exposure, the class that predominates would be Immunoglobulin G (IgG).

Name three features of secondary immune responses that distinguish it from a primary immune response?

Primary Immune response: 1) Smaller Peak Response 2) Usually IgM>IgG 3) Lowere average Antibody Affinity Secondary Immune Response 1) Larger Peak Response 2) Relative increase in IgG and under certain situations in IgA or IgE ( Heavy Isotype switching) 3) Higher Average Antibody Affinity ( Affinity Maturation)


What is a substance that can stimulate a primary immune response but is not abble to produce the symptoms of a disease?

vaccine


What distinguishes the secondary immune response from the primary immune response?

the secondary immune response is faster and stronger than the first. the primary response also takes a few days to react with the antigen whereas the secondary immune response reacts faster to an antigen.


True or false Fever is an important part of the immune response?

What occurs during a primary immune response and secondary immune response?

The secondary immune response occurs after an antigen that has already been encountered reappears. For example, if someone had recovered from the flu and later encounters the same strain of that virus, antibodies that were made specifically for that antigen will rise dramatically with almost no lag perod.


What important part of the immune response is delayed and takes at least a few days to occur while many other elements of the immune response occur immediately?

production of antibodies
