An otherwise healthy student in your class was infected with EBV (the virus that causes infectious mononucleosis) when she was a child, at which time she had merely experienced a mild sore throat and swollen lymph nodes in her neck. When she is exposed to EBV again later in life, she does not get sick or have any symptoms of mononucleosis. Explain why your class mate does not exhibit symptoms of EBV infection.

Her immune system had a macrophage that engulfed the EBV, presented its antigen on its surface, and released helper T cells which gave rise to memory T cells, B cells and cytotoxic cells which actively kill the EBV. The B cells give rise to plasma cells which release antibodies, and memory cells that prepare the body to fight the next infection. The memory cells prepare the immune system to fight off the EBV next time before it can even infect the cells.
