Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Memory B cells are responsible for a rapid response upon re-exposure to an antigen. They "remember" the antigen and are able to quickly produce a large quantity of specific antibodies to neutralize the antigen before it can cause harm. Activation B cells, plasma cells, secretion cells, and antibody-producing cells are all terms used to describe B cells at various stages of differentiation or function, but do not specifically refer to B cells with memory capabilities.
