| ALT_DEFINITION | A medicinal product inducing immunity against disease, most often to prevent occurrence of a disease, (e.g., a preventative vaccine against infectious disease), but also to treat a disease, (e.g., a therapeutic vaccine against cancer). NOTE: The vaccines against infectious disease may contain various ingredients of diverse origin (such as inactivated or attenuated organisms, particular antigens related to the infectious agent, live recombinant vector against antigens in vivo and adjuvants) [After NCI Dictionary of Cancer Terms. After European Pharmacopoeia section 5.1.] See also treatment, prevention, prophylaxis, biological product, virulence.
A substance or group of substances meant to cause the immune system to respond to a tumor or to microorganisms, such as bacteria or viruses. A vaccine can help the body recognize and destroy cancer cells or microorganisms.
A substance or group of substances administered to induce the immune system to recognize and destroy tumors or microorganisms, which can be used for prevention, amelioration, or treatment of diseases.
