Flashcards
0/6
Pathogen Elimination
Pathogens are eliminated more quickly during the secondary immune response than the primary response.
Memory Cells
Secondary immune response relies on the activation of memory cells, which are absent in the primary response.
Speed
The secondary immune response is faster than the primary immune response.
Magnitude
The secondary immune response produces a larger magnitude of antibodies compared to the primary response.
Specificity
Both primary and secondary immune responses are specific, but the secondary response is more precise due to an increased number of specific antibodies.
Duration
Secondary immune responses last longer than primary immune responses.
