This response is characterized by a lower intensity and takes time to develop as the body recognizes the pathogen and begins to produce specific antibodies. 3. **Anamnestic Response**: If the same pathogen is encountered again, the immune system elicits an anamnestic response. This response is much stronger and faster than the primary response due to the presence of memory cells that were formed during the first encounter with the pathogen. ...
