Question

Years from now you are re-exposed to a bacterium that recently made you sick. What would you expect to be TRUE of your body’s immune system’s response in the future?

your previous exposure would facilitate a stronger innate immune response

your body would customize a new antibody to fight the pathogen

your antibody response should be similar in magnitude to the initial exposure

proteins from your MHC system would prevent the bacterium from establishing

memory cells would allow you to respond faster by producing antibodies

Explanation / Answer

Answer should be memory cells would allow you to respond faster by producing antibodies..it is because after re-exposure, memory cells are produced against that antigen which produced greater immune responds for that specific antigen in subsequent attack..
