The difference between humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity is that humoral immunity uses B cells and T cells whereas mediated immunity only uses the T cells. Also humoral immunity provides a defense against antigens and pathogens in body fluids whereas cell-mediated immunity protects from abnormal cells and pathogens inside living cells.
how they respond to and dispose of invaders.
There are two types of immunity Humoral & Cell-mediated ; in humoral immunity plasma cells produces specific antibodies against a particular antigen that may invade the boby.
The b cells are specifically responsible for cell mediated immunity.
secondary humoral response.

Helper T cells
Humoral immunity is mediated by antibodies.
Humoral immunity is effected by antibodies produced by plasma cells toward a specific foreign antigen. Cellular immunity does not directly involve antibodies, but refers to cellular destruction of alien cells/tissues by production of cytotoxins locally, typically the latter are produced by T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells.

Actually acquired immunity consists of "humoral immunity" and "cell mediated immunity. Acquired immunity is the same with adaptive immunity, it is when the antibodies are produced within the bodies after the exposure of pathogen. Humoral immunity secreted antibodies while cell mediated immunity involves in production of T lymphocytes.

Helper T cells
An allergic response is an immune over reaction to a harmless allergen such as pollen which will adversely affect the host, when the allergen is pollen this causes hayfever.
