It is especially important when pathogens enter and multiply inside host cells, where antibodies cannot easily reach them. Cell-mediated immunity also plays a significant role in graft rejection, delayed hypersensitivity reactions, and immune surveillance against tumors. The major cells involved in CMIS include T lymphocytes, antigen-presenting cells (APCs) such as macrophages and dendritic cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and various cytokines that regulate immune responses.
