Humoral immunity is mediated by antibodies.The transfer of protective antibodies made by one or more individuals into another individual is a form of passive humoral immunity.Active immunity to an infection develops when an individual's own immune system responds to the microbe.Cell-mediated immunity is mediated by T lymphocytes,not antibodies,and innate immunity is not mediated by either antibodies or T lymphocytes.
