Target intelligence / Profile preview

Vaccine

Molecular classification: Biological preparation, Antigen delivery system

Overview

A biological preparation designed to provide active acquired immunity against specific infectious or malignant diseases. Vaccines typically contain an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism, stimulating the body's immune system to recognize and destroy the agent and remember it for future defense.

Other names: ImmunizationVaccinationProphylactic ImmunogenTherapeutic Immunogen

Mechanism of action

Stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies and memory cells against specific pathogens, preventing or reducing the severity of future infections.

Biological functions

Adaptive immunity inductionAntibody productionT-cell activationImmunological memoryProphylaxis against infectious diseasesTherapeutic treatment of diseases

Disease associations
