Preferred Label : Immunological Memory Cells;
MeSH definition : Antigen-specific immunologic cells which have a potential to form IMMUNOLOGIC MEMORY
providing a rapid and robust response against a second encounter with the same antigen.
Immunologic memory cells typically include B-Lymphocytes T-Lymphocytes and sometimes
adaptive NK cells. Building immunologic memory cells is a basis of how a vaccine affords
immunity to a specific pathogen.;
