title: [Importance of progress achieved in fundamental biomedical sciences, especially in immunology, for the design of new vaccines].
abstract: The identification of the type of immune response which leads to the elimination of a pathogen by infected hosts is an important step in the design of a new vaccine. The progress made during recent years in basic immunology and molecular biology offers rational means by which to select the type of immune response elicited by a vaccine. In this brief communication the applicability of discoveries in basic immunology to the design of new vaccines is discussed.
