Peptide vaccines are based on in vitro-synthesized peptides of 20–30 amino acids, known to be highly immunogenic and to trigger the desired immune response. While peptide vaccines could limit significantly the chances for allergenic [or] reactogenic complications, they require carriers and adjuvants to counterbalance the low-molecular natureof oligopeptides [...] 3, record 3, English, - peptide%20vaccine

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
In an immunocompetent individual, the immune response is initiated when introduced to an external agent that possesses an immunogenic structural epitope. The appropriate response depends upon the recognition by surface receptors of B and T lymphocytes of the foreignness of the introduced agent. 1, record 4, English, - immunocompetent

Mechanisms of immunological escape address the central paradox of tumour immunology which is why neoplasms which are demonstrably immunogenic elude the effector arm of the immune response. Immunological escape may occur when the balance between factors favouring tumour growth and destruction is tilted in favour of the tumour.... The factors that may contribute to immunological escape include tumour kinetics, antigenic modulation, antigen masking, blocking factors, tolerance, genetic factors, tumour products, and growth factors. 1, record 5, English, - immunological%20escape

Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 DEF
Cooperation between the different types of cells involved in an immune response occurs at several levels. Phagocytes and antigen-presenting cells take up antigen in the periphery, process it and transport it to secondary lymphoid organs(spleen, lymph node, etc.) where it is presented to lymphocytes in an immunogenic form. B cells produce antibody which binds to Fc receptors on phagocytes(as well as mast cells and K cells) so facilitating their uptake of antigen. T cells stimulated by antigen produce a variety of antigen specific and non-specific factors termed lymphokines, which help B cells to produce phagocytes to deal more effectively with pathogens. 1, record 6, English, - cell%20cooperation

Coopération cellulaire. Claman a montré que si l'on injectait à des souris irradiées et thymectomisées des cellules de thymus ou des cellules de moelle osseuse, aucune restauration de la compétence immunitaire de ces souris n'était observée, mais que, par contre, si on leur injectait simultanément ces deux populations cellulaires, une réponse immunitaire significative pouvait être obtenue vis-à-vis des hématies de mouton. Ces expériences (...) ont été reprises avec d'autres antigènes et dans d'autres espèces avec des résultats analogues. Elles apportent des arguments complémentaires en faveur de la dualité des lymphocytes. 1, record 6, French, - coop%C3%A9ration%20cellulaire
