by McMaster University Michael D’Agostino demonstrates how a nebulizer would deliver an inhaled vaccine. A new study has found the McMaster-developed vaccine to be effective against variants of concern. Credit: McMaster University Scientists at McMaster University who have developed an inhaled form of COVID vaccine have confirmed it can provide broad, long-lasting protection against the...
Researchers at Tulane University School of Medicine have developed an inhaled vaccine against Klebsiella pneumoniae, a bacterium that can cause pneumonia in hospital settings. The vaccine was able to protect mice against several strains of the bacteria, according to a new study published in Science Immunology. There are currently no FDA-licensed vaccines for the prevention or treatment of...
by Cell Press Credit: CC0 Public Domain Researchers demonstrate in a proof-of-concept study that a phage-based inhalation delivery system for vaccines generates potent antibody responses in mice and non-human primates, without causing lung damage. The findings suggest that a safe and effective lung delivery system could one day be used for vaccines and therapeutics against respiratory diseases....
