Effective inactivated influenza vaccine for the elderly using a single-stranded RNA-based adjuvant
Abstract There is an unmet need for new influenza vaccine strategies that compensate for impaired vaccine responses in elderly individuals. Here, we evaluated the effectiveness of a single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) as an adjuvant to enhance the efficacy of inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) in mouse mod...
