Explanation:
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: -Helper T-cells are a type of immune cell. When they sense an infection, they activate other immune cells to fight it. They may activate cytotoxic T-cells or they may activate B-cells, which produce antibodies. Your helper T-cells are one the most important types of cells involved in your adaptive immune response.
