Medical Definition of Humoral immunity
1.
A form of immunity whereby B lymphocytes and plasma cells produce antibodies to foreign agents (antigens) and stimulate T lymphocytes to attack them (cellular immunity).
These antibodies also stimulate the release of chemical mediators (for example interferon, complement) which enhance antigen destruction.
