Both the cell mediated and humoral immune system try to protect the body from any infections. Each foreign invaded to your body aka a pathogens has different types of resposes from either cell mediated or humoral immue system. Teh humoral immune system occurs whenever a B cell produces the anitbodies. This resposnse is the first response to any virus or pathogen. Any virus that passes this defense is then handled by the cell mediated system. The cell mediated immunity is activating T calls, macrophages, killer cells and releasing various cytokines. The T cells destroy pathogens by killing it inside of them. T cells remember every pathogen that enters your body so that if the pathogen comes back they can destroy it quicker.
