Accepted Answer

Cell-mediated immunity is the type of immune response that involves T lymphocytes. These cells are able to identify and destroy infected or abnormal cells through direct contact or by secreting cytokines that activate other immune cells. NK cells, B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and macrophages also play important roles in the immune system, but they are not specifically associated with cell-mediated immunity.
