Medical Definition of Memory cell
1.
Cells of the immune system that do not respond immediately when it first encounters an antigen but facilitates the more rapid secondary response when the antigen is encountered on a subsequent occasion.
The long lasting immune memory is humoral and resides in B-cells, although it appears that persistence of the antigen may be essential. T-cell memory is shorter.
