Cell-mediated immunity
Immune response that does not involve antibodies / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cellular immunity, also known as cell-mediated immunity, is an immune response that does not rely on the production of antibodies. Rather, cell-mediated immunity is the activation of phagocytes, antigen-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, and the release of various cytokines in response to an antigen.[1]
