Record 1 2021-05-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
DEF

The capacity of an organism’s immune system to recognize an antigen with which it has already been in contact and to respond to it more rapidly and efficiently.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
DEF

Capacité du système immunitaire d'un organisme de reconnaître un antigène avec lequel il a déjà été en contact et ainsi d'y répondre plus rapidement et efficacement.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Inmunología
DEF

Proceso que permite que un encuentro secundario con el mismo antígeno, produzca una respuesta inmune más intensa e inmediata que la de la exposición inicial a dicho antígeno.

Record 2 2010-08-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
CONT

Serum antibodies after vaccination with Haemophilus influenzae type b capsular polysaccharide and responses to reimmunization : no evidence of immunologic tolerance or memory.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biochimie
CONT

L'immunité humorale, essentiellement due aux anticorps dirigés contre le polysaccharide capsulaire PRD, joue ici un rôle majeur. Le déficit de la réponse au PRP est fréquent, qu'il soit associé à un déficit immunitaire primitif ou secondaire ou qu'il soit isolé, et joue certainement un grand rôle dans la survenue d'infections invasives. La mise au point de vaccins PRP conjugués suscite aujourd'hui de grands espoirs.

Record 3 2006-05-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
CONT

An encounter with a foreign pathogen or antigen stimulates naive T lymphocyte activation and the generation of immunologic memory. The T cells which are responsible for immunologic memory differ, both phenotypically and functionally, from naive T cells. Of interest is the observation that aging is associated with an enhanced level of memory T cells, suggesting that the qualitative T cell response differs in the elderly. Further, differences in the proportion of memory to naive T cells may be responsible for immune dysfunction and autoimmunity associated with the aging process. In general, the goal of our research is to characterize the differences between antigenically naive(virgin) and memory T helper cells at the developmental, phenotypic, and functional levels

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biochimie
CONT

Pour être efficace, la réponse immunitaire doit être adaptée à chaque type d'infection. De ce fait, les lymphocytes T naïfs peuvent se différencier, en fonction des besoins, soit en lymphocytes auxiliaires de type Th1, soit en Th2.
