Abstract

Mucosal delivery of inactivated vaccine against respiratory diseases offers several advantages over the traditional intramuscular injection. This requires the use of a potent adjuvant and/or of delivery systems to obtain strong local and systemic immune responses. Site-directed mutagenesis has allowed the generation of mutants such as LTK63 (Ser to Lys substitution at position 63 in the A subunit) and LTR72 (Ala to Arg at position 72) with abolished or strongly reduced toxicity while still retaining strong mucosal adjuvanticity. Both of them have been used to formulate a subunit influenza vaccine, administered intranasally together with nanoparticles and were shown to be able to potentiate its immunogenicity. These vaccine formulations were totally safe in different animal models. © 2004, Elsevier B.V.
