Taken together, these studies recognized the sublingual mucosa as a potential route of vaccine delivery, which promotes the induction broadly distributed humoral and cell-mediated immune response in systemic lymphoid tissues as well as various mucosal compartments, to offer protection against pathogens that possess tropism for mucosal epithelia. In one study, a recombinant influenza virus M2 protein-based subunit vaccine containing three tandem copies of the M2e (3M2eC) was expressed in Escherichia coli, and the protective efficacy of parenteral and sublingual immunizations was compared (7) . Sublingual sHA1 immunization induced neutralizing antibody responses in the serum and in the respiratory mucosa and provided complete protection against a lethal challenge with pandemic H1N1 influenza A/CA/04/09 virus. In this report, sublingual administration of rADV-S in mice induced SARS virus-specific neutralizing antibody response in the serum and secretory IgA response in the respiratory mucosa. ./cache/cord-272066-f6q6q3io.txt ./txt/cord-272066-f6q6q3io.txt
