IMMUNOSTIMULATING AND IMMUNOPOTENTIATING RECONSTITUTED INFLUENZA VIROSOMES AND VACCINES CONTAINING THEM

摘要

Disclosed are immunostimulating reconstituted influenza virosomes (IRIVs) comprising reconstituted functional virus envelopes containing an inactivated hepatitis A virus and an influenza hemagglutinin protein (HA) or a peptide with the amino terminal 21 amino acid residue segment of HA2 which induces the fusion of the IRIVs with cellular membranes and the lysis of the IRIV. A vaccine containing the hepatitis A IRIVs is also disclosed.
