Cell-mediated immunity is an immune response that does not involve antibodies or complement but rather involves the activation of macrophages, natural killer cells (NK), antigen-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, and the release of various cytokines in response to an antigen.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell-mediated_immunity

Cell mediated immunity just explains what t-cells are about.
