ADJUVANTED INFLUENZA VACCINES INCLUDING CYTOKINE-INDUCING AGENTS

摘要

While oil-in-water emulsions are excellent adjuvants for influenza vaccines, their efficacy can be improved by additionally including other immunostimulating agent(s) to improve cytokine responses, such as y-interferon response. Thus, a vaccine comprises (i) an influenza virus antigen; (ii) an oil-in-water emulsion adjuvant; and (iii) a cytokine-inducing agent.
