A given pathogen will provoke either a cell-mediated response or an antibody-mediated response but not both?

This statement is not accurate. Pathogens can provoke both cell-mediated and antibody-mediated responses at the same time. The type of immune response generated depends on the specific characteristics of the pathogen and the immune system of the host.


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.


What is a scientific word for foreign chemicals?

'Foreign' chemicals which get into the blood and provoke an immune response are called antigens.


Type B whole blood contains antigens and?

Type B whole blood contains antigens on the surface of red blood cells that correspond to the B blood type. These antigens can provoke an immune response if transfused into a person with a different blood type.


What is an isoantigen?

An isoantigen is an antigen that is found on the cells of one individual but not on the cells of another individual within the same species. These antigens can trigger an immune response when cells from different individuals are mixed, and are important in determining compatibility for blood transfusions and organ transplants. They are primarily determined by differences in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes between individuals.

What drug provokes an allergic response?

Any drug can provoke allergic response. Every one is unique and different. So some individuals give individual response to the given drug. All the drugs can give allergic response in some individuals. Some drugs are more prone to give allergic response. No drug is designed to give an allergic response. It will not be called as drug in that case.
