A given pathogen will provoke either a cell-mediated response or an antibody-mediated response but not both?
true
Why is it advantageous to try to repair or replace damaged tissues using a patients own cells to grow the tissue?
All cells have antigens on them. Antigens are things that could stimulate the immune system. All of the patient's body cells have antigens on them that his/her body recognizes as "self." This means his/her immune system will not attack them. If someone else's cells come into contact with the patient, he or she might mount an immune response against them. The patient's body would try to destroy the cells. In a transplant, this ends up as transplant rejection. That's why immunosuppresants are administered for transplant patients (and they come with their own problems). When you're grafting tissue to a patient, an allograft (graft from the patient him/herself) is preferable because the antigens are very much less likely to provoke an immune attack.
