The roles of antibodies versus T-lymphocytes in the human immune response to COVID-19 infection are as follows: Antibodies primarily work by binding to the virus and marking it for destruction by other immune cells. T-lymphocytes, on the other hand, play a crucial role in directly attacking and killing infected cells. Both components are essential for a robust immune response against COVID-19.
