Summary Introduction

To review:

The difference between primary, as well as secondary responses, of antibody.

Introduction:

The response generated by the immune system against the antigen is called the immune response. Antigens are substances present on the surface of the pathogens that are recognized by the immunity and get destroyed. Once an individual is exposed to foreign antigen, the antibodies are formed. The formation of antibody is preceded by the proliferation, as well as differentiation, of antibody-secreting plasma cells and memory B cells.
