Question

Why is secondary immune response more intense than the primary immune response in human?

Open in App
Solution

It is because the secondary immune response takes place when our body encounters the same antigen second time. The B- cells and T- cells are already present against the antigen and more cells are rapidly activated. During the primary immune response, the body encounters the infective agent for the first time and thus action of body is slow.
