Maintenance of long-term antibody responses is critical for protective immunity against many pathogens. However, the duration of humoral immunity and the role played by memory B cells remain poorly ...

Cell-mediated immunity Cell-mediated immunity, unlike humoral immunity, does not rely on antibodies to perform adaptive immunological activities.

Humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity are two types of an adaptive immune response that enable the human body to defend itself in a targeted way against harmful agents such as bacteria, viruses ...

Host defenses rely on innate immunity, a rapid response based on pattern recognition, and adaptive immunity, a more slowly developing specific antigen-recognition system. This review summarizes fea ...

At the surface, the immune response to a flu virus is simple. Some cells recognize the pathogen and send a signal to the ...

A recent study has evaluated vaccine-induced humoral and cellular immunity against SARS-CoV-2 six months post BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) vaccination.

Humoral immunity is also called antibody-mediated immunity. With assistance from helper T cells, B cells will differentiate into plasma B cells that can produce antibodies against a specific antigen.

Advances in understanding of B-lymphocyte maturation and immune tolerance are yielding new insight into the influence of gonadal steroids on the humoral immune system. Kovacs and colleagues ...

The authors investigated the potential role of IgG N-glycosylation in Haemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS), which may offer significant insights for understanding molecular mechanisms and for ...

Adaptive immunity concerts two separate arms—humoral immunity driven by antibody-producing B cells, and cell-mediated immunity driven by “helper” T cells and “killer” T cells.
