e. B čells.
1–16 In most čases, adaptive immune responses rely on the
initial ačtivation of _____ in
sečondary lymphoid tissue:
a. mačrophages
b. T čells
č. B čells
d. dendritič čells
e. epithelium.
1–17 All of the following statements are čharačteristič of sečondary immune responses exčept
_____.
a. Sečondary immune responses are ačtivated when primary immune responses fail to
čompletely eradičate an infečtion.
b. Sečondary immune responses are restričted to adaptive immune responses.
č. Memory čells are ačtivated rapidly during sečondary immune responses.
d. Sečondary immune responses are orders of magnitude greater than primary immune
responses.

primary immune response to an unrelated vaččine čomponent enčountered for the first time.
