cell-mediated immune response

The immune response produced when sensitized T cells attack foreign antigens and secrete lymphokines that initiate the body's humoral immune response. Also called cell-mediated reaction, cellular immune response.

cell-mediated immune response,

a delayed reaction of the immune system, mediated primarily by sensitized T lymphocytes rather than antibodies. Cell-mediated immune response reactions are responsible for defense against certain bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens; malignant cells; and other foreign proteins and tissues. Allergic dermatitis is an example of a cell-mediated immune response. Also called cellular hypersensitivity reaction, delayed hypersensitivity reaction, type IV hypersensitivity. Compare anaphylactic hypersensitivity.
