Prions are the easiest way to answer this. Prions are like mis-folded proteins that cannot reproduce. When a prion enters a cell, it interacts with the normal protein and transforms it into the prion's version. By transmissible pathogen it means that the forgein body is able to be passed along.
What else can I help you with?
Which pathogen is a packet of RNA or DNA with a protein coat?
That would be a virus.
Diseases caused by pathogens are called?
N/aA pathogen by definition is a disease causing organism
What is a pathogen that is made of nucleic acid either RNA or DNA surrounded by protein?
Viruses are pathogens made from RNA or DNA and are encapsulated in a protein shell.
What pathogen that is made of nucleic acid either rna or DNA surrounded by protein?
A virus is a pathogen made of nucleic acid (either RNA or DNA) surrounded by a protein coat. The nucleic acid contains the genetic material needed for the virus to replicate inside a host cell.
What does it means to be a pathogenic organism?
a pathogen is any thing (usualy a bacteria, virus, or protein based) that can cause a disease
What is the protein that destroys pathogen?
antibody
What is the pathogen for scrapie?
The pathogen responsible for scrapie is a misfolded protein known as a prion. Prions are abnormal forms of normal cellular proteins that induce other proteins to misfold, leading to neurodegenerative diseases in affected animals, particularly sheep and goats. Scrapie is characterized by severe neurological symptoms and is transmissible within herds but does not appear to infect humans. The exact mechanism of prion transmission and pathogenesis remains a subject of ongoing research.
What inflammatory response slows the growth of pathogen by denaturing its protein?
Lymphocytes
Which pathogen is a packet of RNA or DNA with a protein coat?
That would be a virus.
Which of the following is a pathogen that is made of nucleic acid surrounded by protein?
A virus is a pathogen that is made of nucleic acid surrounded by protein. Viruses can infect living organisms and hijack their cellular machinery to replicate and spread.

How does being injected with a inactive form of pathogen make you immune to the disease?
The inactive form of the pathogen still has the antigens (protein markers) specific to that pathogen on their surface. Antibodies locate the pathogen and create the correct form of antibody to combat it. As it is inactive the person does not suffer the effects of this pathogen, but when an active form is encountered later the immune system is quicker to respond due to the fact that it now recognises those antigens.

Does protein play a part in cell regonition?
When protein attaches with glycogen on the surface of the cell membrane , it acts as an ID for the cell which white blood cell will not act with the cell as a pathogen.
