B cells are the dominant cells of humoral immunity, T cells are the main cells of cellular immunity, both of which are immune mechanisms of the human body. Humoral immunity is based on the invasion of pathogens in the body, thus producing specific antibodies, so that pathogens lose their pathogenic ability. Cellular immunity is phagocytosis of invading pathogens, reducing the lethality of pathogens, so that the body's inflammatory response is reduced.
