Mucosal vaccines based on rice (MucoRice) offer a highly practical and cost-effective strategy for vaccinating large populations against mucosal infections. However, the limitation of low expression and yield of vaccine antigens with high molecular weight remains to be overcome. Here, we introduced RNAi technology to advance the MucoRice system by co-introducing antisense sequences specific for genes...
Immune responses induced by a nasal influenza vaccine with a mutant cholera toxin (CT112K), known to be a safe adjuvant, were characterized in BALB/c mice to confirm the most suitable regimen of this vaccine for humans. Mice received a primary intranasal administration of the adjuvant (0.1μg)-combined PR8 vaccine (0.1μg) and a secondary administration of the PR8 vaccine alone (0.1μg) 4 weeks later...
