-
that response is specific to that particular antigen.
-
It's not just that your whole immune system gets revved up
-
and it's going to respond
-
more rapidly to any antigen it's exposed to.
-
If we did the experiment where on this booster we included
-
not only the initial antigen but some unrelated antigen,
-
the response to the unrelated antigen called B here,
-
looks like a primary response.
-
There's a lag phase,
-
there's a slow rise to an intermediate level of antibody.
-
So, every time you're exposed to a new vaccine or a new antigen
-
you go through this primary response
