This document provides information about a 4th semester medical laboratory technology course on humoral and cell mediated immunity. The course is taught by Qurrat Ul Ain Malik and covers innate and adaptive immune responses as well as the specificity of the immune response. It discusses how cell-mediated immunity and antibodies are highly specific for invading organisms and how the immune response involves recognition of foreign organisms, activation of immune cells, and a targeted response for destruction.

Cell-mediated immunity and antibody are both highly
specific for the invading organisms. Host defenses originate can be summarized by three actions: a. The recognition of the foreign organism by specific immune cells. b. The activation of these immune cells to produce a specific response c. The response that specifically targets the organism for destruction. Humoral & Cell Mediated Immunity
