Upon passive inhalation of dry influenza vaccine formulations in an optimized set-up, BLP and Advax/BLP adjuvanted formulations induced significantly higher systemic immune responses than the non-adjuvanted formulation. In a previous study, we have shown that pulmonary immunization by dispersion of a dry powder influenza vaccine directly at the syrinx of chickens (active administration) was able to completely protect these animals against lethal viral challenge [11] . For this, we initially tested whether (a) BLP or Advax could be co-formulated with influenza vaccine into dry powder formulations that are suitable for pulmonary immunization; (b) the adjuvants have the potential to boost systemic and mucosal immune responses to influenza; (c) passive administration with either non-adjuvanted or adjuvanted influenza formulations would protect chickens against a lethal HPAIV challenge. ./cache/cord-282322-ywwqnw74.txt ./txt/cord-282322-ywwqnw74.txt
