Question
Chapter 15, Problem 8cCP
Summary Introduction
To review:
The clonal selection theory and its participation in the secondary response.
Introduction:
The adaptive immunity is developed when a foreign body or any pathogen invades the body of the host. The primary immune response is mounted during the first encounter of the host immune system with the pathogen and it is comparatively weaker. The secondary immune response is generated on the next encounter with the same pathogen and heightened immune response is mounted in this response.
