Transcript text: Multiple Choice Question
Memory B and memory T cells respond to antigens during a $\qquad$ immune response.
primary
secondary
Solution
The answer is the second one: secondary.
Explanation:
Memory B and memory T cells are part of the adaptive immune system. They are generated after an initial exposure to an antigen during a primary immune response.
During a secondary immune response, these memory cells are reactivated upon re-exposure to the same antigen. This response is typically faster and more robust than the primary response because the immune system has already been "primed" by the initial exposure.
Therefore, memory B and T cells are specifically involved in the secondary immune response, not the primary one.
