pubmed:abstractText |
The immunogenicity and protective efficacy of influenza vaccine with and without the adjuvant MF59 was determined in mice. The addition of MF59 significantly increased the antibody response to the vaccine antigens over a wide dose range. Equivalent antibody titres were seen using 50- to 200-fold lower antigen concentrations when combined with MF59 compared with vaccine alone. The humoral response was sustained for at least 6 months after immunization. The addition of MF59 increased the protective efficacy of the vaccine: the amount of live virus detectable in the lungs of mice challenged with virus 1-6 months after immunization was reduced and the rate of survival was significantly increased. Influenza vaccine combined with MF59 gave full protection from viral challenge at antigen doses 65- to 80-fold lower than with vaccine alone.
