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.

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.

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.

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.
