Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Memory T cells are created during an initial infection and can circulate in the body for years. If the same antigen is encountered again, these memory T cells quickly recognize and destroy it. Suppressor T cells help to regulate the immune response, killer T cells directly attack infected cells, and helper T cells help to activate other immune cells. However, only memory T cells fit the description given in the question.
