Detailed explanation-1: -Similarities between Cell-mediated and Humoral Immunity Both humoral and cell-mediated immunity are active immunities. Both have a lag period. Both are active against a wide variety of pathogens. Both possess immunological memories.
Detailed explanation-2: -B Acquired Humoral Immunity Humoral immunity is an aspect of specific immune responses directed at particular antigens. It takes the form of unique antibodies produced by B lymphocytes that have been specifically selected to neutralize the antigen at hand.
Detailed explanation-3: -The humoral immune system possesses both innate and adaptive components, although this topic review will focus on antibodies (also called immunoglobulins), one of the principal adaptive elements.
Detailed explanation-4: -Humoral immunity protects the body against extracellular pathogens and their toxins. Cell-mediated immunity protects the body against intracellular pathogens. Recognises pathogens circulating in blood or lymph.
