Function
˜Primary
response:
erecognition
of lymph-borne antigen by T and B cells
eproduction of
soluble factors (cytokines)
eproliferation
of lymphocytes
eproduction of
effector cells - CD4+ and CD8+
eproduction of
effector molecules - antibodies
eproduction of
memory T and B cells
˜Secondary
response
ememory cells
remain in lymphoid tissue
egreater
response and more efficient response
