Questions this course answers

What is an antigen in a vaccine?

Antigen is the target material that starts an adaptive immune response.

What do plasma cells produce?

Activated B-cell descendants called plasma cells secrete antibodies.

What makes a recall response faster?

Memory cells were already selected and expanded during the first response.

How does a booster work?

A later dose re-engages immune memory and can improve quantity and quality.

Why can variants reduce protection?

Protection depends on how well the trained response matches the circulating antigen.
