This article reviews immunological memory cells, currently represented by T and B lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells, which determine a rapid and effective response against a second encounter with the same antigen. Among T lymphocytes, ...

2022年6月16日 · Memory cells are long-lived immune cells capable of recognizing foreign particles they were previously exposed to (thus, the memory in their name). These immune cells do not respond immediately when it first encounters an antigen but facilitates a more rapid secondary response when the antigen is encountered on a subsequent occasion.

In immunology, a memory B cell (MBC) is a type of B lymphocyte that forms part of the adaptive immune system. These cells develop within germinal centers of the secondary lymphoid organs. Memory B cells circulate in the blood stream in a quiescent state, sometimes for decades. [1]

2022年1月17日 · Immunological memory refers to the ability of the immune system to recognise and respond to previously encountered antigens. In brief, when B and T-cells replicate during the primary immune response, they produce effector cells and long-lived memory cells.

2023年5月11日 · Immunological memory is developed by cells of the adaptive immune system that produce a highly sophisticated and specific immune response to destroy invading cells. This specificity is crucial to ensure that only antigen molecules that are foreign to the host, and not those that are host-specific, are targeted.

2024年12月11日 · Memory cells are present in larger quantities than the mature lymphocytes at the start of the primary response, so the correct memory cells are able to detect an antigen, activate and divide by mitosis much more quickly

Immunological memory is the ability of the immune system to respond more rapidly and effectively to pathogens that have been encountered previously, and reflects the preexistence of a clonally expanded population of antigen -specific lymphocytes.

2022年7月31日 · A memory cell is an antigen-specific B or T lymphocyte that does not differentiate into effector cells during the primary immune response, but that can immediately become effector cells upon re-exposure to the same pathogen. During the primary immune response, memory cells do not respond to antigens and do not contribute to host defenses.

They produce antibodies that respond to specific antigens on the surface of pathogens. Memory cells remain in the blood stream and lead to a quicker and stronger defence...
