Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The adaptive immune system is made up of: T lymphocytes in the tissue between the body’s cells. B lymphocytes, also found in the tissue between the body’s cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Components of the adaptive system covered include the fundamental cells and molecules of adaptive immunity: B lymphocytes (B cells), T lymphocytes (T cells), immunoglobulins (Igs), and major histocompatibility complex (MHC).
Detailed explanation-4: -Humoral immunity protects the body against extracellular pathogens and their toxins. Cell-mediated immunity protects the body against intracellular pathogens. Pathogen recognition. Recognises pathogens circulating in blood or lymph.
