Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Memory T cells are generated during an initial infection and circulate in the body for years. They quickly recognize and destroy the same infection if it appears again, providing long-term immunity. Killer T cells, helper T cells, and suppressor T cells are all types of T cells involved in the immune response but do not provide long-term immunity in the same way as memory T cells.
