The Humoral Immune Response (HIR) is the aspect of immunity that is
mediated by secreted antibodies, produced in the cells of the B
lymphocyte lineage (B cell). Secreted antibodies bind to antigens on
the surfaces of invading microbes (such as viruses or bacteria),which
flags them for destruction. Humoral immunity is called as such,
because it involves substances found in the humours, or body fluids.
