Cell-Mediated Immunity:

Cell-mediated immunity is a vital branch of acquired immunity primarily mediated by T cells. T cells are responsible for recognizing infected cells and mounting responses against them. They can directly attack and destroy infected cells, ensuring that the infection does not spread. T cells also produce cytokines, signaling molecules that regulate various aspects of the immune response, including inflammation and immune cell activation. This coordination is essential for an effective immune defense.
