Question:

What is the difference between the primary and secondary antibody response?

Author: Mirte Schattorie



Answer:

Primary response: the entire differentiation needs to happen starting with the naive B cells, the response takes 5 to 10 days, not many antibodies are produced, antibody affinity is low, mostly IgM and IgG secondary response: memory B cells are already present, the response takes 1 to 3 days, much more antibodies are made, antibody affinity is quite high, the antibodies are more specific
