In the primary immune response, formation of long-lived immunological memory is mainly due to the development of:
Correct answer: A. Memory B and T lymphocytes
- A. Memory B and T lymphocytes
- B. Mature erythrocytes
- C. Neutrophil granules
- D. Plasma complement proteins
Explanation
Antigen exposure produces memory B and T cells that persist after the initial response and react rapidly upon later exposure. Erythrocytes and complement proteins do not provide antigen-specific immunological memory.
