  • Publication number: 20140023686
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of immunology and, in particular, to a vaccination procedure for treatment of a patient against diseases caused for example by infection or cancers. More particularly, the invention relates to methods for predicting whether a subject is or is not susceptible to developing a prophylactic or therapeutic response, preferably immune response, after such vaccination. The present invention relates to methods and compositions for selecting patients best able to raise a therapeutic immune response in vivo by an immunogenic composition, in particular a vaccine.

  • Publication number: 20050221435
    Abstract: The invention concerns a biological material for preparing pharmaceutical compositions for treating mammals including either a nucleic acid sequence, containing at least a gene of therapeutic interest and elements expressing the gene in vivo in target cells genetically modified by one such nucleic sequence, or at least a target cell not producing antibodies naturally, genetically modified in vitro by at least one such nucleic acid sequence. The gene of therapeutic interest codes for all or part of an antibody expressed at the surface of the target cell, and such an antibody is capable of fixing itself to a polypeptide present at the surface of a cytotoxic effector cell or a T lymphocyte helper involved in the process activating such a cell.
