The two types of immune responses are:
- Primary immune response:
- The immune response that occurs as a result of the first encounter of the animal with an antigen is called primary immune response.
- It takes longer time to establish immunity.
- It declines rapidly.
- Secondary immune response
- The immune response that occurs at the second and subsequent encounters of the animal with the antigen, is called secondary immune response.
- It is more rapid and results in hightened immunity.
