Verified step by step guidance

Understand the types of hypersensitivity reactions: Hypersensitivity reactions are classified into four types (I-IV) based on the immune mechanism involved.

Identify the role of T lymphocytes: T lymphocytes are primarily involved in Type IV hypersensitivity, also known as delayed-type hypersensitivity.

Differentiate between immediate and delayed hypersensitivity: Immediate hypersensitivity (Types I-III) involves antibodies, whereas delayed hypersensitivity (Type IV) involves T cells and does not manifest immediately.

Recognize the characteristics of delayed hypersensitivity: This type of hypersensitivity typically takes 24-48 hours to develop after exposure to the antigen, as it involves the activation of T cells.

Apply this knowledge to the problem: Since the problem asks which hypersensitivity is caused by T lymphocytes, the answer is delayed hypersensitivity, which is Type IV.
