T cells function in cell-mediated immunity while B cells function in humoral immunity.
<h3>What do you mean by humoral immunity?</h3>
Humoral immunity is the component of immunity that is controlled by extracellular fluid-based macromolecules, such as secreted antibodies, complement proteins, and specific antimicrobial peptides.
The reason humoral immunity is so termed is because it uses components from bodily fluids called humors.
Immunity that is mediated by cells is in contrast.
Antibody-mediated immunity is another name of humoral immunity.
The core discipline of immunology is the study of the molecular and cellular components of the immune system, including their function and interaction.
The immune system of vertebrates is separated into an acquired or adaptive immune system and a more basic innate immune system, each of which contains both humoral and cellular immunological components.
