Question
**Cell Mediated Immunity**

Options:
- ○ T-cell
- ○ B-cell
- ○ Activated by antigen-antibody interaction
- ○ Immunoglobulin

This section explores the concept of cell-mediated immunity, which primarily involves T-cells. Cell-mediated immunity is a crucial component of the adaptive immune response, targeting and eliminating infected cells and cancer cells. Unlike humoral immunity, involving B-cells and antibodies (immunoglobulins), cell-mediated immunity does not rely on antibodies for its action. Understanding the differences between these immune responses is key to comprehending how the body fights infections and diseases.
