How does the body's response to a second infection by a bacterial pathogen differ from the first? (3 marks)

  • faster response due to the presence of memory cells 

  • there are many more cells specific for this pathogen therefore clonal selection and expansion of B cells is quicker 

- antibody production is quicker therefore the pathogen is killed quicker
