Primary and secondary immune responses

Description
A first exposure to an antigen causes a primary immune response in which effector cells fight the infection. Memory cells also form in a primary response but are set aside, some-times for decades. If the antigen returns at a later time, the memory cells initiate a faster, stronger secondary response.
