Immunological memory
Immunological memory describes a specialized function of the immune system which allows it to respond quickly and effectively to agents to which it has previously been exposed. Immunological memory occurs because the immune system produces a population of immune cells characterized as antigen-specific lymphocytes. These cells are primed to recognize the agent to which memory has been initiated providing the immune system a chance to eliminate it before it can cause significant damage.
