Thus, humoral immunity is primarily concerned with fighting pathogens in extracellular spaces. However, pathogens that have already gained entry to host cells are largely protected from the humoral antibody-mediated defenses. Cellular immunity, on the other hand, targets and eliminates intracellular pathogens through the actions of T lymphocytes, or T cells.

Superantigens are unusual bacterial toxins that interact with exceedingly large numbers of T4-lymphocytes. Activation of very large numbers of T4-lymphocytes results in the secretion of excessive amounts of a cytokine called interleukin-2 (IL-2).

It details the activation of helper T cells by antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and their subsequent clonal expansion and differentiation into specific subtypes (TH1, TH2, TH17, and memory T cells), each with unique immune functions driven by cytokine influence.
