Antigent-Presentation: A process in the immune system that enables cells like macrophages and dendritic cells to present the captured antigens to the T cells.
The cells that are involved in antigen-presentation allow T cells to know that there are antigens in the body.
Humoral Immunity: Immunity when antibodies that are produced by plasma B cells in the blood, spleen, and lymph nodes.
Humoral Immunity has to do with the killing of specific pathogens.
Cell Mediated Immunity: Immunity when phagocytes and antigen-specific cytotoxic T-Lymphocytes are activated. Cytokines are also released because of the antigen.
Cell Mediated Immunity does not involve antibodies.
