Humoral & Cell mediated immunity
Our immune response is done by specialized blood cells in our body combined with immune organs. Based on the type of response expressed by the immune cells, the human immune response is of two types, humoral immunity and cell mediated immunity. Humoral immunity immune response is mostly involved B lymphocytes (B cells) and cell mediated immune response only involve T lymphocytes (T cells). Immune cell formation in short: From the hematopoietic cells in bone marrow, precursor cells of B and T cells are formed. B cells undergo maturation in the blood. Whereas T precursor cells reach the thymus gland near to the heart. From the thymus, T precursor cells differentiate to T helper cells (CD4) and T killer cells (CD8). Short form of immune cell production Humoral immune response: When an antigen enters our blood system, It will engulf by antigen presenting cells (APC), especially macrophages. Then it will unde...
