    cells that remember past infections for faster future responses

    Memory T Cells, also known as Memory T Lymphocytes, are a type of immune cell that "remembers" past infections. After an initial encounter with a pathogen, these cells persist in the body and can quickly mount a strong immune response if the same pathogen is encountered again, providing long-term immunity. This is crucial for the effectiveness of vaccines and the body's ability to fight off repeated infections.
