main difference between humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity mechanism?

[Smooth Operater]

Is it in humoral, antibodies may be produced and bind to antigen to attract leukocytes to phagocytize the antigen, wherease in cell-mediated, cells can combact infections directly without antibodies?

Thanks!

In humoral immunity, the bodys lymphocytes produce antibodies, which bind to antigens and label it for destruction... In a sense the body is attacking from a distance, making antibodies and sending them out... In Cell mediated, the cells patrol the body directly (like the police) looking for bad cells and destroy them directly... they do not produce antibodies
