Memory T-Lymphocyte

Long-lived T-lymphocytes that have previously encountered an antigen, allowing for a faster and more robust immune response upon subsequent exposure to the same antigen.

Key Functions:

• Provides long-term immune memory.
• Mounts a rapid and effective response upon re-exposure to a specific antigen.
• Crucial for acquired immunity.

Interacting Systems & Components:

• T-lymphocyte (type of)
• Immune System (component of adaptive immunity)
• Antigen (remembers)
• Memory B-lymphocyte (works with)
