Active immunity is due to

  • A.Suppressor T-cells
  • B.killer T-cells
  • C.Memory cells
  • D.Helper T-cells

Answer: C

Correct answer: Memory cells

What makes active immunity last is the pool of memory cells left behind after a response. They persist for years and, on meeting the same antigen again, produce a response that is faster, larger and of higher affinity - the basis of vaccination. Killer, helper and suppressor T cells all act during a response but do not carry its memory.
