Abstract

Orally-active vaccines containing purified or recombinant antigens are highly desirable, particularly in immunization against diseases of mucosal surfaces, but their development to date has been limited and fitful, hampered by a range of difficulties. Here, Allan Mowat and Anne Donachie suggest that lipophilic immune-stimulating complexes (ISCOMS) may provide an oral immunization vector for the induction of a wide range of immune responses to protein antigens.
