Humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity are two types of an adaptive immune response that enable the human body to defend itself in a targeted way against harmful agents such as bacteria, viruses ...

Together these results suggest that the pre-existing humoral immunity to AAV may contribute to trigger adverse immune responses observed in AAV-based gene therapy, and that blockade of complement ...
