a B-cell or T-cell that is specialized to respond to a specific pathogen and remains in the body after an initial immune response. Memory cells are primed to respond to a subsequent attack by the same invader in the future.
a type of T or B cell that has been exposed to antigen. The cell remembers the antigen and will respond more effectively to it if it is exposed again.
Memory cells are long-lived subsets of T-cells and B-cells that have been exposed to specific antigens and can "recall" them (and then quickly mobilize an immune response) even if infection occurs many years later.
a lymphocyte that has been stimulated during the primary immune response to antigen and that is rapidly activated upon subsequent exposure to that antigen
an electronic circuit that remembers an input value after the removal of that input value
a special cell that remembers the last activation order of two or more inputs
a type of hybrid effector-perceptor cell
a T or B cell that has been exposed to a specific invading organism and remembers the organism. Memory cells help the immune system respond faster when they encounter invading organisms for the second time.
long-living cells which are produced as part of a normal immune response. These cells are responsible for rapid immunologic response to second and subsequent infections by a particular agent.
A group of cells that help the body defend itself against disease by remembering prior exposure to specific organisms (e.g. viruses or bacteria). Therefore these cells are able to respond quickly when these organisms repeatedly threaten the body.
A cell in the immune system that, when exposed to an invading pathogen, replicates itself and remains in the lymph nodes searching for the same antigen, resulting in a more efficient and rapid response to any subsequent attack.
memory cells are a subset of T cells and B cells that have been exposed to specific antigens and can then proliferate (recognize the antigen and divide) more readily when the immune system re-encounters the same antigens.
Lymphocyte that has been exposed to a specific antigen so that when re-exposed to that antigen it can recognize the antigen and rapidly divide
