What region in the immunoglobulin response to different antigens?

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.


Is Acquired Immunity the same as Humoral Immunity?

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.


What are the differences between humoral immunity and cellular immunity?

ANTIBODY IMMUNITY IS BETTER TERMED AS HUMORAL IMMUNITY Humoral immunity is acquired by B-lymphocytes and T-helper lymphocytes as An antigen is engulfed by antigen processing cell (APC) e.g. , B-cells then a part of an antigen (epitope) is presented to T-helper cells in association with MHC-II (MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX) then T-helper cell activates B-cell to produce effector cell (plasma cell) and memory cell then plasma cell secrete antibodies which neglify harmful or toxic effects of the above antigen. CELL MEDIATED IMMUNITY Every cell of the body can show this response while in the above case only APC can show humoral response A whole foreign body/ antibody is engulfed by the cell then epitope is represented to cytotoxic T-lymphocytes(CTLs) then CTLs secrete certain chemicals which kill the cell along with foreign body.


Immune response involving T-cell lymphocytes?

humoral immunity


What is the Differentiate between Humoral mediated immune response and cellular mediated immune response?

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.


What are the difference between antiviral immunity and anti bacterial immunity?

mostly antiviral immunity is the result of cell mediated immunity and antibacterial immunity is result of humoral immunity


What is the difference between humoral and cell-mediated immunity?

how they respond to and dispose of invaders.


Comparison of humoral and cell mediated immune response?

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.
