Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the two main branches of adaptive immunity: humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity. Humoral immunity involves the production of antibodies by B cells, while cell-mediated immunity involves the activation of T cells to target infected or abnormal cells.
Recall that B cells are responsible for producing antibodies that neutralize pathogens or mark them for destruction. This is the hallmark of humoral immunity.
Recognize that T cells are involved in cell-mediated immunity. They do not produce antibodies but instead directly attack infected cells or help other immune cells through signaling.
Analyze the options provided in the problem. Match the correct immune cell type (B cells or T cells) to the corresponding branch of immunity (humoral or cell-mediated).
Conclude that the correct pairing is: B cells function in humoral immunity, while T cells function in cell-mediated immunity.
