what are the 2 types of adaptive immunity ✔️Ans - cell mediated and
antibody mediated
What is Cell Mediated Immunity ✔️Ans - Specific immunity that only uses
T cells
antibody-mediated immunity ✔️Ans - produces antibody B cells in

what are the 2 types of T cells? ✔️Ans - Helper CD4 T Cells and Cytotoxic
CD8 T cells
