D) Both antibody-mediated and cell-mediated immunity
E) Innate immunity, antibody-mediated immunity, and cell-mediated immunity
Thymus Gland
An organ located in the upper chest, involved in immune system development and the production of T-cells for adaptive immunity.
Cell-Mediated Immunity
An immune response that does not involve antibodies but the activation of phagocytes, antigen-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, and the release of various cytokines in response to an antigen.
Antibody-Mediated Immunity
An aspect of the immune response where B cells produce antibodies to identify and neutralize foreign objects like bacteria and viruses.
