Inhaled vaccine induces fast, strong immune response in mice and non-human primates
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....
