What makes memory cells




















To understand the events taking place, it is important to appreciate that the antibody molecules present on a clone a group of genetically identical cells of B cells have a unique paratope the sequence of amino acids that binds to the epitope on an antigen. Each time these cells are induced to proliferate due to an infection, the genetic region coding for the paratope undergoes spontaneous mutations with a frequency of about 1 in every cell divisions.

This may not seem high, but because the cells divide so often, it ends up resulting in many mutations. The frequency of mutations in other cells is around 1 in 10 6 , which is much lower. Some of the resulting paratopes and the cells elaborating them have a better affinity for the antigen actually, the epitope and are more likely to proliferate than the others. This is called gaining immunity. This graph shows how Memory Cells help you to better fight infections.

At day 0, someone catches a virus. At day 40, the same virus gets in her body again. Since she has Memory B-cells prepared to fight, she can quickly make times more antibodies than she did during the first infection. Building Memory Cells without getting sick If you get an infection, you can build up immunity to that specific virus. Another way to get immunity is to get a vaccine. Vaccines are very weak or dead versions of a virus or bacteria that prepare your Memory Cells to fight that specific virus or bacteria.

Since vaccines help you gain immunity without getting sick, they are especially good protection for very dangerous illnesses. Vaccinations in history The first successful vaccine was against smallpox in Smallpox is caused by a very contagious and deadly virus. Back then, smallpox was especially scary because people knew so little about viruses, bacteria, or how the immune system works. It was Dr. Edward Jenner who noticed that young women who milked cows usually caught cowpox, but rarely caught smallpox.

He thought maybe getting cowpox prevented getting smallpox. University of Washington UW. Sign up for the Nature Briefing newsletter — what matters in science, free to your inbox daily.
