00:01 Humoral immunity is immunity provided by antibodies present in bodily fluid. 00:08 It is the major function of the B-cell component of the adaptive immune response, in contrast to cell-mediated immunity which results from the activity of T-cells. 00:19 However of course, T and B-cells work together. 00:22 And B-cells can function as professional antigen presenting cells using their MHC Class II molecules to present peptide MHC to CD4+ T-cells. 00:34 And helper T-cells help B-cells to class switch and differentiate into antibody-secreting plasma cells. 00:43 So these two types of immunity if you like, humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity, they’re not totally separate from each other. 00:51 They very much work together.
The lecture Introduction – Humoral Immunity by Peter Delves, PhD is from the course Humoral Immunity and Cell-Mediated Immunity.
