Making influenza vaccines that can help protect against viruses that threaten human health isn’t a simple process. ...
” The synergistic effects of combining intranasally delivered M2SR with intramuscularly delivered high dose IIV is a novel approach that could significantly boost the effectiveness of flu vaccines and protect from the drifting of flu strains from year to year. The study will evaluate subjects’ ability to raise mucosal antibodies in the nasal passages, serum ...
This is believed to be the first demonstration of vaccine-induced protection against a highly drifted H3N2 influenza virus in a human challenge study. “Current vaccines are strain-specific and in recent years they have had low efficacy against H3N2 influenza, especially when the vaccine is mismatched to circulating virus,” said Dr. ...
The study is designed to measure a breadth of immune responses against both vaccine matched and drifted influenza strains amongst study subjects who receive either vaccine alone, both vaccines administered simultaneously, or both given sequentially. The study will also assess seroconversion and seroprotection to identify the number of subjects who respond with ...
The study will evaluate subjects’ ability to raise antibodies against matched and drifted strains of the influenza virus. The extent to which all major components of the adaptive immune system are activated will also be measured. ...
