Question

Memory B cells allow for long-term protection against antigens by "remembering" the specific antigen and being able to rapidly produce antibodies upon re-exposure to the antigen. Plasma cells produce antibodies in response to an antigen but do not provide long-term protection. Helper T cells help activate B cells but do not directly provide long-term protection against antigens. Antibodies are produced by plasma cells and contribute to the immune response, but they do not provide long-term protection on their own.
