White blood cells, more specifically B-lymphocytes.
In cell mediated immunity the lymphocytes go and attack the offending microorganism. This develops after about 2 to 3 weeks after the first attack by microorganisms.
The b cells are specifically responsible for cell mediated immunity.
humoral immunity
Specific immunity is also known as adaptive immunity or acquired immunity active or passive. There are two types of specific immune responses; humoral and cell mediated. Humoral immunity is mediated by B Lymphocytes that produce antibodies; forms of B lymphocytes are IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE. They primarily attach bacterial invaders Cellular immunity is mediated by T Lymphocytes and combat intracellular infections (such as viruses), monitor cellular disruptions like tumors or foreign tissues, and fight fungal infections.

Lymphocytes have a <protective role>. Particular function depends on the type of lymphocytes. T cells are involved in cell-mediated immunity whereas B cells are primarily responsible for humoral immunity (relating to antibodies). Protective functions are done through: lysis of virually infected cells or tumor cells, realease of cytokines and growth factors to stimulate otherimmune cells, immunoregulation and cytotoxicity, destruction of virally infected cells, secretion of antibodies
Alot of cell types are involved in human body immunity. Starting with epithelial cells that provide the first barrier against invading bodies. Then you have phagocytes, T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, and Natural Killer cells.
