Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The humoral innate immune response consists of multiple components, including the naturally occurring antibodies (NAb), pentraxins and the complement and contact cascades. As soluble, plasma components, these innate proteins provide key elements in the prevention and control of disease.
Detailed explanation-3: -Secreted antibodies bind to antigens on the surfaces of invading pathogens, which flag them for destruction. Humoral immunity is so named because it involves substances found in the humors, or body fluids. There are two types of humoral immunity: active and passive.
