Vaccine escape is the term used to describe the process of a virus mutating to form a variant that evades the immune response induced by vaccination. This process is rare, but occurrence depends on factors such as therapeutic targets and viral mutation rates. 2, record 1, English, - vaccine%20escape

Pour parler d’échappement vaccinal stricto sensu, il faut que l’infection survienne au moins deux semaines après l’administration de la deuxième dose d’un vaccin à ARNm. Rien de surprenant, puisqu’il n’a jamais été clamé que l’efficacité vaccinale était de 100 %. Plusieurs questions légitimes se posent néanmoins : Les patients "victimes" d’un échappement vaccinal présentent-ils des particularités communes? Quel est leur profil démographique et clinique ? Quel est le pronostic de la Covid-19 dans ce cas précis, notamment quand une hospitalisation est nécessaire ? 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9chappement%20vaccinal

Biologic drugs are protein-based and derived from living matter or manufactured in living cells using recombinant DNA biotechnologies. The therapeutic proteins that form the basis of these biologic drugs are far more complex and much larger than the chemically synthesized, small molecules that form the basis of most pharmaceutical products. 1, record 3, English, - biologic%20drug

Contrairement aux médicaments pharmaceutiques, les médicaments biologiques sont dérivés de l'activité métabolique d'organismes vivants. Leur structure est plus complexe et leur contenu tend à varier davantage que les médicaments synthétisés par voie chimique. Les produits biologiques sont fabriqués à partir d'animaux ou de microorganismes ou en utilisant des animaux ou des microorganismes. En règle générale, les médicaments biologiques sont labiles et sensibles aux variations pouvant survenir lors des procédés de fabrication. 3, record 3, French, - m%C3%A9dicament%20biologique

Therapeutic vaccination while the virus is well suppressed with antiretrovirals. In one study, first reported last summer at Geneva and with new data last week at the Retroviruses conference, volunteers whose viral load had been effectively suppressed with antiretrovirals were also given a killed-virus immunogen(the Remune(TM) therapeutic vaccine, which was developed by the late Dr. Jonas Salk) ;a control group was given the inactive component of the same vaccine but without the HIV. T-helper responses like those of long-term nonprogressors returned in most of those given the real vaccine--and in none of the control group. 1, record 6, English, - therapeutic%20vaccination

L'idée de stimuler le système immunitaire pour s'opposer à la multiplication des cellules cancéreuses date des travaux de l'allemand Paul Ehrlich, au début du siècle [...]Mais ce n'est que vers les années quatre-vingt que le concept a commencé à être mis en pratique avec des méthodes modernes chez l'homme par injection de cytokines telles que l'interleulike 2 et l'interféron alpha, puis par introduction des gènes codant ces molécules dans les cellules cancéreuses, et dernièrement par «vaccination thérapeutique», une immunothérapie qui cherche à induire des réponses immunitaires cytotoxiques et mémorisables, contre les antigènes portés par les cellules tumorales. 1, record 6, French, - vaccination%20th%C3%A9rapeutique
