Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the primary immune response, the body is encountering the antigen for the first time and needs time to generate a specific response to it. The secondary response occurs when the body encounters the same antigen again and has memory cells ready to respond quickly and effectively. This leads to a faster and bigger response compared to the primary response.
