This flashcard defines memory cells as B and T lymphocytes responsible for immunological memory. They are characterized by their heightened sensitivity to antigens and their rapid response upon re-exposure to the antigen they were originally primed against.
Se resumen las células B y T que median la memoria inmunológica. Son más sensibles a los antígenos que las células vírgenes y responden rápidamente a la reexposición al antígeno que las indujo originalmente.
