After you have had a vaccine or illness, the next exposure to the pathogen will result in:
|
|
primary immune response with slow production of B cells
|
|
|
primary immune response with quick production of antibodies
|
|
|
secondary immune response with quick production of antibodies
|
|
|
secondary immune response with slow production of B cells
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The first time we encounter a pathogen, our bodies generate a primary immune response. Subsequent exposures, on the other hand, benefit from secondary (or memory) immune responses.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because of the generation of memory cells, the secondary immune response is faster and stronger, leading to more effective pathogen elimination in comparison to the primary immune response.
Detailed explanation-3: -During the secondary immune response, the immune system can eliminate the antigen, which has been encountered by the individual during the primary invasion, more rapidly and efficiently. Both T and B memory cells contribute to the secondary response.
