Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the primary immune response, the immune system is encountering the antigen for the first time, and it takes time for the B cells to differentiate and produce a large number of specific antibodies. Therefore, the amount of antibody produced is low compared to the secondary immune response, in which the immune system has memory of the antigen, and the B cells can rapidly differentiate into plasma cells and produce a large amount of antibody.
