The graph shows the primary and secondary responses of the immune system to antigens. [Figure 37.1] What are responses X and Y?

This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.

AX: primary response, Y: secondary response caused by cloning of B-lymphocytes formed during the primary response
BX: primary response, Y: secondary response caused by cloning of T-lymphocytes formed during the primary response
CX: secondary response caused by cloning of B-lymphocytes formed during the primary response, Y: primary response
DX: secondary response caused by cloning of T-lymphocytes formed during the primary response, Y: primary response

✓ Correct answer

C: X: secondary response caused by cloning of B-lymphocytes formed during the primary response, Y: primary response
