question
Choose the true statement regarding the primary versus the secondary immune response.
A primary response leads to higher levels of antibodies than does a secondary response.
A primary response results when naïve lymphocytes are activated, while a secondary response is a result of activating memory cells.
The antibodies produced in a primary response bind to antigens more efficiently than the antibodies produced in a secondary immune response.
A primary response occurs faster than a secondary response.
answer
A primary response results when naïve lymphocytes are activated, while a secondary response is a result of activating memory cells.
