There are many cells involved in adaptive immunity and requires them to work together for a fully functional adaptive response. These cells include: CD4 (Th1 & Th2) T cells, B cells (plasma and memory), professional antigen presenting (APC) cells that include: dendritic cell, B cells and macrophages.

Adaptive immunity is primarily produced by T cells and B cells, which are types of lymphocytes. These cells undergo specific activation and differentiation to recognize and respond to specific antigens, providing a tailored immune response.
Antibodies are produced by B cells (a type of white blood cell) in response to the presence of a specific antigen, such as a virus or bacteria. Once the B cell recognizes the antigen, it matures into plasma cells that release antibodies into the bloodstream to target and neutralize the invading pathogen. This process is part of the active immunity response, where the immune system generates its own protection against future infections.
Cell-mediated immunity. T cells play a key role in cell-mediated immunity by directly attacking infected cells or coordinating the immune response.
Innate is non-specific. It includes the first and second lines of defense. The first line of defense contains the skin, mucus membranes, and normal micro-biota. The second line contains the complement system, phagocytosis, fever, and inflammation.Adaptive is specific. It includes the third line of defense. The third line of defense contains B cells, which make antibodies, and T cells, which kill the target pathogen, and encourages phagocytosis.There is a huge difference between innate and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity is one that is triggered as soon an antigen gets into the body. As for the adaptive, its has to be specific and will allow be introduced once the antigen is recognized.
The administration of a vaccine stimulates the body to produce a longer lasting type of immunity called "adaptive immunity." This type of immunity involves the production of specific antibodies and memory cells that provide long-term protection against the targeted pathogen.
