Mucosal immunization with a killed whole-cell pneumococcal vaccine, given with enterotoxin-related adjuvants, has been shown to confer multi-serotype protection against colonization of the nasopharynx and middle ear in mice. However, because novel mucosal immunization strategies may be difficult to implement

The inability of seasonal influenza vaccines to effectively protect against infection with antigenically drifted viruses or newly emerging pandemic viruses underlines the need for development of cross-reactive influenza vaccines that induce immunity against a variety of virus subtypes. Therefore, potential
