Humoral immunity includes [[Complement|complement]] activation of the classical pathway. It results in the production of [[Immunoglobulin M|IgM]] and [[Immunoglobulin G|IgG]] and makes the complement system more efficient.

Cell-mediated immunity provides help for macrophages. It includes [[Immunoglobulin G|IgG]] production (through T-helper type II (TH<sub>2</sub>) cell interaction with [[Lymphocytes#B Cells|B cells]]), which improves phagocytosis by opsonisation. Infected [[Macrophages|macrophages]] are rescued by T-helper type I (TH<sub>1</sub>) cells when phagocytosis and digestion mechanisms fail to eliminate the pathogen.
