Question

When Mercedes encountered an unknown virus, it sent her immune system into

overdrive. Diagnostic tests showed that her body had mounted a massive attack of
T-cells against the invading virus, and within a few days, the illness resolved itself
with bed rest. Which type of immunity is this an example of?

Answer 1

Cell-mediated immunity of the adaptive immune system.

Step-by-step explanation:

The adaptive immune system has two categories. Humoral and cell-mediated. Humoral refers to the formation of antibodies by B-cells. Cell-mediated is the immunity conferred by T-cells.
