Description

人以外の陸上動物用のウイルス感染症に対する抗体誘導剤とその補助剤Antibody inducers and adjuvants for viral infections for non-human land animals
 本発明は、人以外の陸上動物用のウイルス感染症に対する分泌型IgA及び/又はIgG抗体誘導剤、及びその補助剤であるアジュバントに関する。 The present invention relates to a secretory IgA and / or IgG antibody inducer for a viral infection for terrestrial animals other than humans, and an adjuvant which is an adjuvant thereof.
 一般的にウイルスは増殖が早く感染後数日で発症するため、ウイルスからの罹患を防ぐためには、予めワクチンを接種して抗原抗体反応によりウイルス感染を阻止するか、あるいは生体の感染防御能を高めておく必要がある。しかし、現在、世界中でウイルス変異や遺伝因子の多型性出現により、現行のワクチンが必ずしも顕著な効果を奏するとは限らない状況になっている。
 そこで、安全で、しかも低コストでウイルスの感染を防御する方法の開発が望まれているが、これまでこの問題に直接的に応えた感染予防法は提案されていない。
 ウイルスの感染予防法として、従来の獲得免疫を引き起こすワクチンの他に、自然免疫(先天性免疫:innate immunity)を増強させる方法が考えられるが、人以外の陸上動物に対する有効な方法は未だ開発されていない。
In general, viruses grow quickly and develop within a few days after infection. Therefore, in order to prevent morbidity from viruses, vaccination should be performed in advance to prevent viral infection by antigen-antibody reaction, or the body's ability to protect against infection can be increased. It needs to be raised. However, due to viral mutations and the appearance of polymorphisms of genetic factors all over the world, current vaccines are not always effective.
Therefore, development of a safe and low-cost method for protecting against virus infection is desired, but no infection prevention method that directly addresses this problem has been proposed.
In addition to conventional vaccines that cause acquired immunity, a method for enhancing innate immunity can be considered as a virus infection prevention method, but an effective method for land animals other than humans has not yet been developed. Not.
 また、呼吸器粘膜及び全身における分泌型IgA抗体の誘導方法として、鼻腔投与(経鼻投与)により鼻粘膜へ抗原を接種する方法があるが、液状のワクチンを経鼻投与するには霧状に噴霧しなければならないし、ワクチンのみでは効果的なIgA抗体の誘導は得られない。現行の皮下や筋肉内投与ワクチンは、抗体の誘導に2週間~3か月かかる場合があり、感染時又は感染初期に緊急にIgA抗体の誘導を行う必要がある場合には役に立たない。
 したがって、緊急時にもワクチンを有効とするためのアジュバント、及び経鼻投与可能なワクチンとアジュバントの組合せが待望されている。
In addition, as a method for inducing secretory IgA antibody in the respiratory mucosa and the whole body, there is a method in which an antigen is inoculated into the nasal mucosa by nasal administration (nasal administration). It must be nebulized, and effective IgA antibody induction cannot be obtained with the vaccine alone. Current subcutaneous and intramuscular vaccines can take 2 weeks to 3 months to induce antibodies, and are not useful when it is necessary to urgently induce IgA antibodies at the time of infection or at the beginning of infection.
Therefore, an adjuvant for making the vaccine effective even in an emergency and a combination of a vaccine and an adjuvant that can be administered intranasally are desired.
 例えば、豚繁殖・呼吸器症候群(PRRS:Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome)、ブタインフルエンザ等の動物感染症は、基本的にはヒトインフルエンザウイルスと同様に呼吸器感染症として捉えることができる。PRRSウイルスはトガウイルス科アルテリウイルス科アルテリウイルス属に属し、エンベロープを保有する。接触感染及び空気感染により伝播し伝播力は強い。生ワクチンが開発されているが、ウイルス亜型の問題などで確実に被害を防止することはできない。一番の問題は、体内の免疫細胞であるマクロファージが破壊されてしまうので、体の感染防御能又は抵抗力が低下し、重篤な2次感染を引き起こすことである。 For example, animal infectious diseases such as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome) and swine influenza can be basically regarded as respiratory infectious diseases in the same manner as human influenza viruses. The PRRS virus belongs to the genus Arterivirus of the Togaviridae Arteriviridae family and possesses an envelope. It is transmitted by contact infection and air infection, and its transmission power is strong. Live vaccines have been developed, but damage cannot be reliably prevented due to virus subtype issues. The biggest problem is that macrophages, which are immune cells in the body, are destroyed, so that the body's ability to defend or resist infection is reduced, causing serious secondary infection.
 しかし、呼吸器粘膜上における分泌型IgA抗体の産生を誘導し、血清中でのIgA、IgM、IgG抗体応答が得られる方法があれば、PRRS及びブタインフルエンザ等のウイルス感染症を効果的に予防できる。例えば、当該ウイルス由来の不活性抗原(ワクチン)の粘膜投与、特に経鼻投与が考えられるが、不活性抗原のワクチン効果をより完全なものとするためには、ワクチンに対するアジュバント作用を有する物質を同時に効果的に鼻腔内粘膜上に投与する必要がある。
 従来、ワクチンに対してアジュバント作用を有する物質は種々提案されており、例えばイノシン酸とシチジル酸からなるポリヌクレオチドコポリマーであるPoly(I:C)の優れたアジュバント作用が報告されている(非特許文献1)。
 しかし、動物感染症に対して緊急時に有効で経鼻投与可能な、ウイルス由来の不活性抗原とアジュバントからなる分泌型IgA及び/又はIgG抗体誘導剤は未だ存在しない。
However, if there is a method that induces the production of secretory IgA antibody on the respiratory mucosa and obtains an IgA, IgM, IgG antibody response in serum, it effectively prevents viral infections such as PRRS and swine influenza. it can. For example, mucosal administration of an inactive antigen (vaccine) derived from the virus, particularly nasal administration is conceivable. In order to achieve a more complete vaccine effect of the inactive antigen, a substance having an adjuvant action against the vaccine is used. At the same time, it needs to be effectively administered onto the intranasal mucosa.
Conventionally, various substances having an adjuvant action on a vaccine have been proposed, and for example, an excellent adjuvant action of Poly (I: C), which is a polynucleotide copolymer composed of inosinic acid and cytidylic acid, has been reported (Non-patents). Reference 1).
However, a secretory IgA and / or IgG antibody inducer comprising a virus-derived inactive antigen and an adjuvant, which is effective in an emergency against animal infections and can be administered intranasally, has not yet existed.
 本発明は、人以外の陸上動物のウイルス感染症に対して緊急時に有効で簡便に経鼻投与可能であり、安全性や保存安定性が高く安価で短期間に大量生産が可能な、ウイルス由来の不活性抗原とアジュバントからなる分泌型IgA及び/又はIgG抗体誘導剤、及び該抗体誘導剤の補助剤として有効で保存安定性の高いアジュバントの提供を目的とする。 The present invention is effective for urinary animal virus infections other than humans and can be easily and nasally administered in an emergency, has high safety and storage stability, is inexpensive and can be mass-produced in a short period of time It is an object of the present invention to provide a secretory IgA and / or IgG antibody inducer comprising the above inactive antigen and an adjuvant, and an adjuvant that is effective as a supplement to the antibody inducer and has high storage stability.
 本発明者は、前記従来技術の問題点に鑑み、ウイルスの変異株に対しても広く予防できる手段として、生体における自然免疫(先天性免疫)を増強させることに着目した。
 そして、ウイルス由来の不活化抗原とアジュバントの経鼻投与(鼻粘膜接種)について検討し、凍結乾燥して粉末状としたウイルス由来の不活化抗原とアジュバントを経鼻投与(鼻粘膜接種)することにより、効果的に鼻粘膜上での分泌型IgA抗体分泌と、血清中におけるIgAやIgG抗体応答が得られ、更に、PRRSを始めとする各種ウイルスに対する発症予防効果、感染防御効果、及び交叉防御効果が認められることを見出し、本発明を完成させるに至った。
 即ち、上記課題は、次の1)~4)の発明によって解決される。
 1) アジュバントを凍結乾燥して粉末状とした、人以外の陸上動物のウイルス感染症に対する分泌型IgA及び/又はIgG抗体誘導剤の補助剤。
 2) 凍結乾燥して粉末状としたウイルス由来の不活化抗原と1)記載の補助剤とを含む、人以外の陸上動物のウイルス感染症に対する分泌型IgA及び/又はIgG抗体誘導剤。
 3) 家畜用、または家禽用であることを特徴とする2)に記載の抗体誘導剤。
 4) 経鼻投与用であることを特徴とする2)または3)に記載の抗体誘導剤。
In view of the problems of the prior art, the present inventor has focused on enhancing innate immunity (innate immunity) in a living body as a means that can be widely prevented against mutant strains of viruses.
Then, study nasal administration (inoculation of nasal mucosa) of virus-derived inactivated antigen and adjuvant, and nasally administer lyophilized virus-derived inactivated antigen and adjuvant (inoculation of nasal mucosa). Can effectively produce secretory IgA antibody secretion on the nasal mucosa and IgA or IgG antibody response in serum, and further, preventive effect against various viruses including PRRS, infection protection effect, and cross-protection The inventors have found that an effect is recognized, and have completed the present invention.
That is, the above problems are solved by the following inventions 1) to 4).
1) Adjuvant of secretory IgA and / or IgG antibody inducer for viral infections of land animals other than humans by lyophilizing the adjuvant into a powder form.
2) A secretory IgA and / or IgG antibody inducer against a viral infection of a land animal other than a human, comprising an inactivated antigen derived from a virus that has been freeze-dried and powdered and the adjuvant described in 1).
3) The antibody inducer according to 2), which is for livestock or poultry.
4) The antibody inducer according to 2) or 3), which is for intranasal administration.
 本発明によれば、人以外の陸上動物のウイルス感染症に対して緊急時に有効で簡便に経鼻投与可能であり、安全性や保存安定性が高く安価で短期間に大量生産が可能な、ウイルス由来の不活性抗原とアジュバントからなる分泌型IgA及び/又はIgG抗体誘導剤、及び該抗体誘導剤の補助剤として有効で保存安定性の高いアジュバントを提供できる。
 更に本発明の抗体誘導剤は、経鼻投与することにより、従来なしえなかった交叉防御効果を奏する。交叉防御とはPRRSやインフルエンザのように抗原や遺伝子に多形、亜系などのサブタイプ(Subtype)のあるものに対し、一つのワクチンで感染防御を行うものである。PRRSウイルスもサブタイプが多く見られ、ワクチンの防御効果が得られない原因となっている。
According to the present invention, it is effective and easy to administer nasally for emergency against viral infections of land animals other than humans, and can be mass-produced in a short time with high safety and storage stability at low cost. A secretory IgA and / or IgG antibody inducer comprising an inactive antigen derived from a virus and an adjuvant, and an adjuvant that is effective as an auxiliary agent for the antibody inducer and has high storage stability can be provided.
Furthermore, the antibody inducer of the present invention exhibits a cross-protective effect that could not be achieved by nasal administration. Cross protection refers to protection against infection with a single vaccine against antigens and genes that have polymorphisms or subtypes such as subtypes such as PRRS and influenza. The PRRS virus also has many subtypes, which is the cause of the inability to obtain the protective effect of the vaccine.
 本発明の抗体誘導剤は、経鼻用新ワクチンともいうべきものであり、経鼻投与することにより、鼻粘膜上でのIgA抗体の分泌と、血清中でのIgG抗体応答が得られる。また非特異的な分泌型IgA及び/又はIgG抗体の産生を効果的に誘導でき、ウイルスによる感染を感染時又は感染初期に迅速に防御できると共に、交叉防御作用も有するのでウイルスの変異株に対しても有効である。
 一般に、分泌型IgA及び/又はIgG抗体は、外分泌液中の主要な免疫グロブリンであり、粘膜表面の感染防御に役立っている病原菌特異的抗体であって、唾液、鼻汁、腸、気管などの分泌液中、あるいは初乳中に多く見られ、また血清中にも存在する。
 これに対し、本発明の抗体誘導剤によって産生される抗体は分泌型IgA及び非特異的又は特異的抗体であるから、交叉防御作用も有する。
The antibody inducer of the present invention should also be referred to as a new nasal vaccine, and when administered nasally, secretion of IgA antibody on the nasal mucosa and IgG antibody response in serum are obtained. In addition, it can effectively induce the production of non-specific secretory IgA and / or IgG antibodies, can rapidly protect against infection by viruses at the beginning of infection or at the early stage of infection, and has a cross-protective action, thus preventing against virus mutants. Even it is effective.
In general, secretory IgA and / or IgG antibodies are major immunoglobulins in the exocrine fluid, and are pathogen-specific antibodies that help protect against mucosal surface infection, and are secreted from saliva, nasal discharge, intestine, trachea, etc. It is often found in liquid or colostrum, and is also present in serum.
On the other hand, since the antibody produced by the antibody inducer of the present invention is a secretory IgA and a non-specific or specific antibody, it also has a cross-protective action.
 本発明の抗体誘導剤は人以外の陸上動物のウイルス感染症を対象とするものである。本発明の抗体誘導体が対象とする陸上動物は特に制限されないが、犬、猫などの愛玩動物、牛、豚、羊、山羊、馬、ロバ、ラバ、アルパカ、ラマ、トナカイなどの家畜、鶏、アヒル、ガチョウ、七面鳥、うずらなどの家禽が挙げられる。集団で飼育されており、感染が拡大すると被害が甚大となるため、本発明の抗体誘導体は、家畜用、家禽用として特に好適である。 The antibody inducer of the present invention is intended for viral infections of land animals other than humans. The land animals targeted by the antibody derivatives of the present invention are not particularly limited, but pets such as dogs and cats, cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, horses, donkeys, mules, alpaca, llamas, reindeer and other livestock, chickens, Poultry such as ducks, geese, turkeys and quails. The antibody derivative of the present invention is particularly suitable for livestock use and poultry use because it is reared in a group and the damage is enormous if the infection spreads.
 本発明の抗体誘導剤が、対象とするウイルス感染症としては、例えば、PRRS、ウマ堡病毒、サル出血熱、ブタインフルエンザ、PED(ブタ流行性下痢)、ニパウイルス感染症、鳥インフルエンザ、ニューキャッスル病、口蹄疫、牛乳房炎などが挙げられる。PEDについては、本発明の抗体誘導剤を子豚に投与しても効果がないが、母豚に投与することにより母乳を介して子豚の感染を防御できる。また、本発明の抗体誘導剤を投与した母豚の母乳を、母豚から生まれた子豚以外に授乳させても感染を防御できるので極めて有用である。更に、牛乳房炎については、経鼻投与と他の投与法(局所投与など)を併用することが好ましい。また、潜伏感染を起こすウイルス、特に粘膜、神経細胞等を感染伝達するジカ熱等にも有効である。
 本発明の抗体誘導剤は経鼻投与するものであるため、皮下や筋肉内投与ワクチンにおけるアナフィラキシーショックなどが起こることは無く、非常に安全なものである。
Examples of viral infections targeted by the antibody inducer of the present invention include PRRS, equine mania, monkey hemorrhagic fever, swine influenza, PED (pig epidemic diarrhea), Nipah virus infection, bird flu, Newcastle disease , Foot-and-mouth disease, and bovine mastitis. As for PED, there is no effect even if the antibody inducer of the present invention is administered to a piglet. However, by administering it to a piglet, infection of the piglet can be prevented through breast milk. Moreover, since the infection can be prevented even if the breast milk of the mother pig administered with the antibody inducer of the present invention is fed to a pig other than the piglet born from the mother pig, it is extremely useful. Furthermore, for bovine mastitis, it is preferable to use nasal administration in combination with other administration methods (such as topical administration). It is also effective against Zika fever and the like that infect and transmit viruses that cause latent infection, particularly mucous membranes and nerve cells.
Since the antibody inducer of the present invention is administered nasally, it does not cause anaphylactic shock in a subcutaneously or intramuscularly administered vaccine and is very safe.

 インフルエンザワクチンなどの液体タイプのワクチンは4℃で保存するが、バイアル瓶やアンプル及び保管用冷蔵庫が必要である上に、保存期間が短く(通常、3年程度保存できれば十分とされている)、防腐剤を必要とするなど安定に保存するのに手間がかかる。また、従来のアジュバントの保存期間は、通常、4℃で4~6ヶ月程度である。
 これに対し、本発明の抗体誘導剤や補助剤は、凍結乾燥して粉末状とすることにより、錠剤(タブレット)などの形態で簡便かつ安価に保存可能であり、かつ、従来よりも大幅に長期間、安定に保存することができる。
 更に、本発明の抗体誘導剤は、短期間に粉末からタブレットを大量生産することが可能であるから、感染症が急激に広がり、例えばパンデミックのような状態になって、緊急に大量のワクチンが必要になったような場合にも十分対応可能であり、従来のワクチンよりも遥かに実効性に優れた非常に画期的なものである。
 なお、凍結乾燥の方法は特に限定されず、周知の手段の中から適宜選択すればよい。
 本発明の抗体誘導剤において、不活化抗原は、補助剤1重量部に対して、100万分の1重量部から1重量部の範囲内で用いられる。また、本発明の抗体誘導剤は、ペプチド、ホルモン、香料、色素、活性炭、防腐剤、食塩、金属塩、サポニンなどを含むことができる。

 コントロールとして、生ワクチン+アジュバント、生ワクチンのみ、不活化抗原のみ、及び、アジュバントのみを経鼻投与したが、いずれも抗体はできなかった。
Example 1
<Test materials and methods>
A PRRS live vaccine (MA-104 cell culture: JJ-1882 strain: Boehringer Ingelheim) was inactivated to obtain an inactivated antigen, which was freeze-dried by a conventional freeze-dryer to form a powder.
In addition, the adjuvant Poly (I: C) [dsRNA (double-stranded ribonucleic acid), manufactured by Adjuvant International Co., Ltd.] was freeze-dried with a freeze-dryer by a conventional method to form a powder.
The experimental animals used were normal piglets and microminipigs sensitive to PRRS.
The inactivated antigen and adjuvant (adjuvant) lyophilized and powdered were dissolved and mixed in purified water at a dose of 0.001 mg to 10,000 mg per kg body weight of the experimental animal, and administered nasally as an antibody inducer.
As a control, live vaccine + adjuvant, live vaccine alone, inactivated antigen alone, and adjuvant alone were administered nasally, but no antibody was produced.
 抗体誘導剤経鼻投与から2週間後に、感染PRRSウイルスとして、市販ワクチン株(2型)と野外分離株(3型)を用い、交叉防御試験を行った。
 試験はPoly(I:C)と(3型)を不活化した不活化抗原の混合液(試作抗体誘導剤1)を経鼻噴霧投与する群(TA)、Poly(I:C)と(2型)を不活化した不活化抗原の混合液(試作抗体誘導剤2)を経鼻噴霧投与する群(TB)、及び無投与対照群(陰性対照群:TC)の3群を設定し、各群5頭ずつ、合計15頭を供試した。
 試験1では鼻汁、唾液及び血清中の(2型)に対する特異的IgA抗体上昇の確認を行い、試験2では(3型)の攻撃を行い、臨床症状、リアルタイムPCRによるPRRSウイルスの増幅、及び病理所見等から総合的に判断して感染防御効果を確認した。また交叉防御効果を確認した。
 感染価はTCID50により測定した。
 PRRSの中和抗体であるIgA及びIgGについては、経鼻投与1日前、投与2日後、14日後、更にブースター投与後、それぞれの鼻汁、唾液、血液中の抗体産生について測定した。臨床症状は検定を行った。
Two weeks after nasal administration of the antibody inducer, a cross-protection test was conducted using a commercially available vaccine strain (type 2) and a field isolate (type 3) as the infected PRRS virus.
The test was performed by nasal spray administration of a mixed solution of inactivated antigen (prototype antibody inducer 1) in which Poly (I: C) and (type 3) were inactivated, Poly (I: C) and (2 Three groups, a group (TB) for nasal spray administration of a mixed solution of inactivated antigen (prototype antibody inducer 2) inactivated type), and a non-administration control group (negative control group: TC) were set, A total of 15 animals in 5 groups were used.
In Test 1, specific IgA antibody elevation against nasal discharge, saliva and serum (Type 2) was confirmed, and in Test 2, (Type 3) attack was performed, clinical symptoms, PRRS virus amplification by real-time PCR, and pathology Judging comprehensively from the findings, etc., the infection prevention effect was confirmed. The cross-protective effect was also confirmed.
Infectivity titer was measured by TCID50.
Regarding PRA neutralizing antibodies IgA and IgG, antibody production in each nasal discharge, saliva and blood was measured 1 day before nasal administration, 2 days after administration, 14 days after administration, and further after booster administration. Clinical symptoms were tested.
<試験結果>
 試験1での特異的IgA測定の結果、無投与群のTCで抗体上昇が認められなかったのに対し、抗体誘導剤投与群(TA及びTB)は、投与後1日で鼻汁及び唾液で特異的IgA抗体の有為な上昇が確認され、血清中では投与後14日で特異的IgG抗体の上昇が確認された。一方、コントロール群は全て、抗体上昇も感染防御効果も見られなかった。
 試験2での攻撃試験の結果、臨床症状については、TCで活力の低下、腹式呼吸及び発熱などの症状が確認(p=0.0013)されたのに対し、TA及びTBでは症状の異常は確認されなかった。
 リアルタイムPCR測定については、TCで攻撃開始後7日をピーク(10Copies/mL)に高い値で推移したのに対し、TA及びTBでは試験期間中、検出限界以下であった。
 また、(2型)及び(3型)の抗体誘導剤をそれぞれ投与した結果、鼻汁及び唾液で特異的IgA抗体の上昇が、血清中で特異的IgG抗体の上昇が確認され、(2型)の抗体誘導剤2投与群においても(3型)の感染に対して防御が確認された。
<Test results>
As a result of specific IgA measurement in Test 1, no antibody elevation was observed in the TC of the non-administration group, whereas the antibody inducer administration groups (TA and TB) were specific in nasal juice and saliva one day after administration. A significant increase in specific IgA antibody was confirmed, and an increase in specific IgG antibody was confirmed 14 days after administration in serum. On the other hand, in all the control groups, neither antibody elevation nor infection protective effect was observed.
As a result of the attack test in Test 2, as for clinical symptoms, symptoms such as decreased vitality, abdominal breathing and fever were confirmed with TC (p = 0.0013), whereas abnormal symptoms were observed with TA and TB Was not confirmed.
Regarding the real-time PCR measurement, TC showed a high value at the peak (10 5 Copies / mL) 7 days after the start of the attack, whereas TA and TB were below the detection limit during the test period.
In addition, as a result of administering the antibody inducers of (type 2) and (type 3), respectively, an increase in specific IgA antibody was confirmed in nasal secretion and saliva, and an increase in specific IgG antibody in serum, (type 2) In the antibody-inducing agent 2 administration group, protection against infection of type 3 was also confirmed.
 以上のことから、不活化抗原を作製したPRRS株と異なる型のPRRSに対してもPoly(I:C)を用いた経鼻噴霧型の抗体誘導剤は、従来よりもきわめて少ない用量で交叉防御が行われ、PRRS発症を完全に抑制することが確認された。
 また、それぞれの抗体は1回のブースター(経鼻再投与)により維持されることから、子豚のみならず母豚に対しても交叉感染防御が期待される。
Based on the above, the nasal spray type antibody inducer using Poly (I: C) against PRRS of a different type from the PRRS strain from which the inactivated antigen was prepared cross-protects at a much lower dose than before. It was confirmed that PRRS onset was completely suppressed.
In addition, since each antibody is maintained by a single booster (nasal re-administration), cross-infection protection is expected not only for piglets but also for mother pigs.

As a result, IgA in nasal fluid and saliva was significantly higher than that in the non-administered control group 2 days after the start of administration for both inactivated vaccines A and B with two new adjuvants (Poly-I: C). This trend continued even 35 days after the first dose.
IgG in serum, like IgA in nasal and saliva, showed a significantly higher value compared to the non-administered control group on the 14th day after the start of administration, and this tendency continued even 35 days after the first administration. .
Serum PRRS ELISA antibody titers did not increase across all groups.
 今回使用したアジュバント(Poly-I:C)はRNAを人工的に合成したものであって、不活化ウイルスと混合して経鼻噴霧投与すると、体内の免疫機構がウイルスの侵入と勘違いして反応し、短期間の間に強くIgA抗体を誘導し、その後IgGも誘導するものであると言われているが、本試験において鼻汁及び唾液中のIgAが上昇し、その後の血清中のIgGも上昇したことにより、これらのことが実証された。
 また、抗体誘導剤投与によると思われる臨床症状の異常などの副作用は認められず、安全性にも問題はないことが確認された。
The adjuvant (Poly-I: C) used this time is an artificially synthesized RNA. When mixed with an inactivated virus and administered by nasal spray, the immune system in the body misunderstands the invasion of the virus and reacts. However, although it is said that IgA antibody is strongly induced in a short period of time and then IgG is also induced, IgA in nasal fluid and saliva is increased in this test, and IgG in serum thereafter is also increased. This proved these things.
In addition, no side effects such as abnormal clinical symptoms that were probably caused by administration of the antibody inducer were observed, and it was confirmed that there was no problem with safety.
