INFLUENZA VACCINES INCLUDING COMBINATIONS OF PARTICULATE ADJUVANTS AND IMMUNOPOTENTIATORS

Influenza vaccines containing insoluble particulate adjuvants have been found to elicit an IgG response that is primarily a TH2 response (IgG1). This response can be shifted towards a TH1 response (IgG2a) by including immunopotentiators in the compositions. Thus the invention provides an immunogenic...

Zusammenfassung:	Influenza vaccines containing insoluble particulate adjuvants have been found to elicit an IgG response that is primarily a TH2 response (IgG1). This response can be shifted towards a TH1 response (IgG2a) by including immunopotentiators in the compositions. Thus the invention provides an immunogenic composition comprising: (i) an influenza virus antigen; (ii) an insoluble particulate adjuvant; and (iii) a immunopotentiator.
