Q

what is primary and subsequent response to a vaccination

A

primary - B & T cells activated - slow

subsequent quicker as 1000s memory cells present to proliferate/differentiate into active B & T cells

Q

allergy - initial & subsequent exposure

A

initial causes sensitisation - -slow as not specificity (not activated)
second - exaggerated immune response as has been developed and antibodies are ready
