Detailed explanation-1: -Cell-mediated immunity is directed primarily at microbes that survive in phagocytes as well as those that infect non-phagocytic cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Acquired immunity includes both humoral immunity, as well as cell-mediated immunity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cell-mediated immunity is largely based on the function of T-helper (Th) lymphocytes. These lymphocytes (CD4+; T-helper cells) mediate proliferation and differentiation of various immune-competent cells via their release of various cytokines (e.g., IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6).
Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer is a) Plasma cells. All of the following are components of cell-mediated immunity except plasma cells.
Detailed explanation-5: -There are two types of adaptive responses: the cell-mediated immune response, which is carried out by T cells, and the humoral immune response, which is controlled by activated B cells and antibodies.
