Immune System
Hardbiology
Cell-mediated immunity is primarily mediated by which cells?
Select the correct option:
Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
Helper and cytotoxic T cells
- Specific Immunity: Divided into Humoral and Cell-mediated components.
- Humoral Immunity: Carried out by B-lymphocytes which differentiate into plasma cells to secrete antibodies.
- Cell-mediated Immunity (CMI): Orchestrated by T-lymphocytes.
- Cytotoxic T cells (TC): Directly attack and destroy virus-infected or cancerous cells.
- Helper T cells (TH): Release chemicals to activate and coordinate other immune cells.
- Conclusion: T-cells do not produce antibodies but act directly or through cytokines.
