On distingue les vecteurs viraux réplicatifs des vecteurs viraux non réplicatifs. Les premiers ont l'avantage d'être plus efficaces pour l'activation des réponses immunes du fait de l'amplification du signal antigénique mais peuvent être limités dans leur utilisation par une pathogénicité résiduelle [ou] un risque de dissémination dans l'environnement. 2, record 1, French, - vecteur%20viral%20r%C3%A9plicatif

Vaccines for yellow fever, measles, and mumps and the Sabin polio vaccine all use live attenuated virus. Only vaccines for influenza and rabies and the Salk polio vaccine use an inactivated virus, and only the hepatitis B vaccine uses a recombinant subunit of the virus. 3, record 2, English, - live%20attenuated%20virus

Le vaccin est un dérivé non pathogène d'un agent microbien ou viral qui, introduit dans l'organisme, induit une résistance spécifique contre cet agent pathogène grâce à l'acquisition d'une immunité cellulaire, humorale ou mixte. Les principaux antigènes sont les anatoxines (toxines modifiées) et les agents soit tués, soit vivants et atténués. 2, record 2, French, - virus%20vivant%20att%C3%A9nu%C3%A9

Une étude récente a démontré une bonne protection contre le H5N1 sur des souris suite à l'inoculation avec un vaccin contre le virus influenza H5 créé par génie génétique. La protection était atteinte malgré des différences antigéniques entre la souche du vaccin et le virus ciblé. [...] Une deuxième étude a suggéré que l'utilisation d'adjuvants dans le vaccin prototype pourrait favoriser le développement d'anticorps capable de neutraliser une souche pandémique jusqu'à ce qu'un vaccin adéquat soit disponible. 2, record 3, French, - vaccin%20prototype

La virulencia asociada a las moléculas de hemaglutinina H5 en el lugar del péptido de unión ha sido eliminada. Como resultado presenta un virus atenuado en pollos y en huevos embrionados. Este virus inactivado con formalina se prepara en una emulsión oleosa y constituye una vacuna prototipo. 2, record 3, Spanish, - prototipo%20de%20vacuna
