Question

During the primary response, the person does not suffer from the disease.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

When a person is infected by a disease for the first time there is a latent period before significant antibody production. The person suffers the disease during this period. If the person survives and is infected with the same antigen at a later date then antibody production is much more rapid, a higher concentration is produced and is maintained for a longer time. This results in the disease usually being prevented.
