Chemotherapy is "the treatment of disease by the use of chemical substances, especially the treatment of cancer by cytotoxic and other drugs." an antibody is a blood protein produced in response to and counteracting a specific antigen. they combine chemically with substances which the body recognises as 'alien', such as bacteria, viruses, and foreign substances in the blood, like if someone decided to lodge a metal pole into you.

Ab deffers agrees that I am apathetic :)
In simple terms, antibodies are the `protein molecules your body (B-Lymphocytes) make against the foreign antigens.` Chemotherapeutic agents are any `chemical agents which is used for therapeutic purpose.` It may or `may not be organism derived.` For example drugs like `paracetamol, nimusulide`are synthetic while antibiotics like `penicillin` is organism derived.
