Report of the Jury (April 25, 1987)
Considering
that Professor Jacques URBAIN achieved a particularly original research
in a new and important field of immunology: the idiotypie;
considering that the work of Jacques URBAIN constantly combined rigorous
experimental observations and new and creative concepts; that it opened
the way with a new design of the regulation of the immunological answers,
with experimental handling of the system immune which leads already to a
potential application in medicine: vaccines known as of third generation,
calling upon the anti-idiotypiques antibodies instead of the antigens;
considering that the work of Jacques URBAIN is particularly remarkable
because it has at the same time theoretical implications, implications
in general biology and possible applications in medicine;
considering that one of the remarkable points is that this young
researcher carried out a scientific philosopher's stone initially as a
recluse then with a team, restricted and dynamics which it animates with
much success;
decide to award the Francqui Prize 1987 to Mr Jacques URBAIN, Professor
at the Université Libre de Bruxelles.
