Explanation:
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.
Detailed explanation-2: -B cells activate humoral immunity, whereas T cells activate cell-mediated immunity. The major difference between humoral and cell-mediated immunity is that humoral immunity produces antigen-specific antibodies, whereas cell-mediated immunity does not.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cytotoxic T cells destroy virus-infected cells in the cell-mediated immune response, and helper T cells play a part in activating both the antibody and the cell-mediated immune responses.
