Which type of T cell is most important in both cellular and humoral immunity? Why?
Acquired or adaptive immunity can be divided in to Natural Active, Natural Passive, Artificial Active, and Artificial Passive Immunity. Which types will lead to long lasting immune protection? Which will provide short term protection?
Two of the major actions of complement are a. increased inflammatory response and cytolysis. b. recognition and destruction of a specific antigen and cytolysis. c. production of antibody and increased inflammatory response. d. release of cytokines to increase the immune response and production of antibody.

- How are cell-mediated immunity and antibody-mediated immunity alike? How are they different?arrow_forwardTwo students are studying for an exam on the body’s defense systems.
