Does an antigen cause an allergic reaction?

Only if the person is already allergic to that antigen. Not if they are immune to the antigen. The word antigen refers to the protein that joins with the antibody. If the antibody is of the allergic type (IgE) then an allergic reaction will happen and if the antibody is of the immune type (IgG, IgM or IgA) then there won't be an allergic reaction.


Which cell type interacts with humoral and cell-mediated immune pathways?

T lymphocytes (T cells) are the cell type that interacts with both humoral and cell-mediated immune pathways. They help orchestrate immune responses by recognizing antigens presented by antigen-presenting cells and signaling other immune cells to either produce antibodies (in the case of B cells) or kill infected cells directly.
