There are two different responses produced by the immune response in mammals. There is the "Cell mediated" response, and there is the "antibody response". First we shall deal with the Cell mediated response. This response is based upon the help of T-Cells. There are various types of T-cells which all have different jobs in the system. The cell mediated response is mainly utilised in defence against intracellular pathogens, such as viri and funghi(and some …
