Question
Question 53Assume that a patient who was originally infected with a certain strain of bacteria becomes reinfected with the same strain. Of the following cell types, which is LEAST likely to produce memory cells during the initial infection that would rapidly respond to the new infection?A.B cellB.Cytotoxic T cellC.Helper T cellD.Neutrophil
Solution
The answer is D. Neutrophil.
Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that are part of the innate immune system, not the adaptive immune system. They are the most abundant type of white blood cells and are among the first to arrive at the site of an infection. However, they do not produce memory cells.
On the other hand, B cells, Cytotoxic T cells, and Helper T cells are all part of the adaptive immune system, which does produce memory cells. These memory cells "remember" pathogens, allowing the immune system to respond more quickly and effectively to subsequent infections with the same pathogen.
