Memory B cells are B cells that although activated by the immune system, they are stored inside the circulatory system for later use, for long periods of time, possibly a whole lifetime. Like other cells such as helper T cells, killer T cells, and plasma cells they never become directly involved in the immune response to foreign objects in a living body. If a pathogen the body has already encountered invades, memory B cells can recognize the pathogen and start to divide. ...

memory cells are a subset of T cells and B cells that have been exposed to specific antigens and can then proliferate (recognize the antigen and divide) more readily when the immune system re-encounters the same antigens.

| memory cell |
clonally expanded progeny of T and B cells fomred during the primary response following intial exposure to an antigen. Memory cells are more easily activated than naive lymphocytes and when they encounter antigen in subsequent exposure, they mediate a faster and greater secondary response.
