Which of the Following Stimulates Memory Cells to Produce Antibody-Secreting

Question

Which of the following stimulates memory cells to produce antibody-secreting plasma cells?
A) An antitoxin
B) A booster shot
C) Gamma globulin
D) Antivenom

Accepted Answer

A booster shot is administered after an initial vaccination to enhance the immunity against a specific disease. It stimulates memory cells to produce antibody-secreting plasma cells, which results in the production of more antibodies that can provide long-term immunity. Antitoxin, gamma globulin, and antivenom contain preformed antibodies that provide immediate but short-term protection against a specific toxin, virus, or venom, respectively.
