  • Title: [Mucosal immunity with implications for use in developing a new generation of vaccines].
    Author: Osek J, Truszczyński M.
    Journal: Postepy Hig Med Dosw; 1995; 49(4):469-86. PubMed ID: 8657643.
    Abstract:
    The mucosal immune system is a very important component of the body's defence against pathogenic organisms, especially those responsible for enteric infections. On the basis of the concept of a common mucosal immune system, there is currently much interest in the possibility of developing oral vaccines against respiratory and urogenital tracts infections. There is also a great need to develop strategies for enhancing delivery of antigens to the mucosal immune system as well as to identify mucosa-active immunostimulating adjuvants.
