Question

If Ab's from a primary immune response declined (next cold season) and you're susceptible to infection by the same pathogen, what happens?

A) Antibodies provide immediate protection
B) Antibodies enhance the infection
C) Memory B cells respond rapidly
D) Neutrophils initiate immune response

Answer 1

Memory B cells respond rapidly and produce antibodies to fight against the pathogen.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the scenario where the primary immune response declines and you are susceptible to infection by the same pathogen, Memory B cells respond rapidly. Memory B cells retain the information about the particular pathogen from the previous exposure. When the pathogen is encountered again, the memory B cells quickly differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibodies to fight against the pathogen, providing a stronger and more rapid immune response compared to the primary response.
