Zusammenfassung: | BackgroundInfluenza-virus hemagglutinin (HA) protein expressed in insect cells by recombinant baculovirus is a candidate influenza vaccine MethodsIn a randomized, double-blind trial conducted in 399 adults ⩾65 years of age, the efficacy of trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) licensed for intramuscular injection was compared with that of trivalent baculovirus-expressed HA vaccine administered at doses of 15 μg, 45 μg, or 135 μg of each HA ResultsCompared with TIV, baculovirus-expressed HA vaccine was safe and induced better serum antibody responses to the H3 component when administered at doses of 45 μg or 135 μg of each HA ConclusionsBaculovirus-expressed HA is a safe and immunogenic influenza vaccine in elderly adults |
