Summary Introduction

To determine: Difference between cellular immunity and antibody-mediated immunity

Introduction: Immune system is involved in recognizing and killing the harmful foreign substances that attack the body. There are two types of immunities,  which are innate immunity (present from birth) and adaptive immunity (develop after birth). The adaptive immune system is further of two types, namely cellular immunity and antibody-mediated immunity.

To determine: The components of cellular immunity and antibody-mediated immunity

Introduction: Immune system is involved in recognizing and killing the harmful foreign substances that attack the body. There are two types of immunities,  innate immunity (present from birth) and adaptive immunity (develop after birth). Adaptive immune is further of two types, namely cellular immunity and antibody-mediated immunity.

Contrast cell – mediated immunity with antibody – mediated immunity. Make sure to note: which cells are involved, how they are involved, and the end result of each type of immunity. Why is adaptive immunity called an “antigen-specific response”?
Distinguish between antibody-mediated immunity and cell mediated immunity. What components are involved in each?
Immunity can be of many types: natural activeimmunity, natural passive immunity, artificial activeimmunity and artificial passive immunity. Which of theseforms of immunity confer immune memory?
