Antibodies: do not enter cells extracellular. Helper t cells (th cells; cd4 + t cells) Cytotoxic t cells (ctl; cd8 + t cells) First exposure primary immune response 5-10 days. Second exposure memory immune response 1-3 days. Immune response is more efficient (larger & faster response) with re-exposure to the same pathogen. Introducing pathogens in controlled manner to develop memory cells. So when you"re reexposed to the pathogen, you will have the memory cells to mount a faster, better response. You only need one vaccination for small pox. Memory t cells and antibodies are present in circulation after 30 years. Innate immunity works alongside the adaptive immune system to attack pathogens. Na ve b and t cells develop into effector cells & memory cells. Memory response subsequent exposure to identical pathogen (specific virus e. g. h1n1 instead of influenza virus) Memory cells respond to pathogen more effective. Important features of adaptive immunity are memory &
