Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Memory T and B cells are generated during an initial infection and remain in the body for years, providing immunity to future infections by the same pathogen. Killer, helper, and suppressor T and B cells all have different functions in the immune system, but they do not specifically refer to the long-term memory response.
