Effect of adjuvants on responses to skin immunization by microneedles coated with influenza subunit vaccine.

Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of vaccine delivery to the skin by vaccine-coated microneedles; however there is little information on the effects of adjuvants using this approach for vaccination. Here we investigate the use of TLR ligands as adjuvants with skin-based delivery of...

Effect of adjuvants on responses to skin immunization by microneedles coated with influenza subunit vaccine.
