| humoral immunity |
B-cell-mediated immunity in mammals that fights bacteria and viruses in body fluids with antibodies that circulate in blood plasma and lymph, fluids formerly called humours. In insects, humoral immunity refers to the immune response that produces antimicrobial peptides, particularly at high concentrations in the haemolymph (blood).
