The secondary immune response occurs upon second exposure to an antigen, being faster, producing higher antibody levels, and class-switched antibodies, due to the reactivation of memory lymphocytes.
La respuesta inmunitaria secundaria ocurre tras la segunda exposición a un antígeno, siendo más rápida, produciendo mayores niveles de anticuerpos y anticuerpos con cambio de clase, gracias a la reactivación de linfocitos de memoria.

In comparison with the primary response, it starts sooner after exposure, produces greater levels of antibody, and produces class-switched antibodies. It is generated by the reactivation of memory lymphocytes |
