The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Antibody Mediated Immunity:** - Antibody mediated immunity is also known as humoral immunity. - It is primarily mediated by B lymphocytes (B cells). - B cells produce antibodies that bind to antigens, neutralizing them or causing their destruction. 2. **Role of B Lymphocytes:** - B lymphocytes mature in the bone marrow. - Upon activation, they differentiate into plasma cells, which secrete antibodies, and memory cells, which provide long-term immunity. 3. **Understanding Cell Mediated Immunity:** - Cell mediated immunity occurs within infected cells and is primarily mediated by T lymphocytes (T cells). - T cells do not produce antibodies but instead directly attack infected or cancerous cells. 4. **Role of T Lymphocytes:** - T lymphocytes mature in the thymus. - They can differentiate into various types of cells, including killer T cells (which destroy infected cells), helper T cells (which assist other immune cells), and suppressor T cells (which regulate the immune response). 5. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, antibody mediated immunity is represented by B lymphocytes, while cell mediated immunity is represented by T lymphocytes. **Final Answer:** Antibody mediated immunity is represented by B lymphocytes, and cell mediated immunity is represented by T lymphocytes. ---
