C
Macrophages
D
B lymphocytes
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that cellular adaptive immunity refers to the immune response mediated by cells that directly attack infected or abnormal cells, rather than producing antibodies.
Recall that T lymphocytes (T cells) are the primary cells responsible for cellular adaptive immunity, as they can recognize and kill infected cells or help other immune cells.
Recognize that B lymphocytes are mainly involved in humoral immunity, which involves antibody production, not direct cellular attack.
Note that neutrophils and macrophages are part of the innate immune system, providing immediate but non-specific defense rather than adaptive immunity.
Conclude that among the options, T lymphocytes are the correct cells carrying out cellular adaptive immunity.
