Feelings are more serious, therefore most of strong pathogen for sucking infection body through aerosol are often considered as biological warfare agent and bio-terrorism
Agent.Vaccine inoculation is to defend the important means of biological warfare agent and bio-terrorism agent, but traditional percutaneous or be inoculated with through intramuscular injection,
Compared with direct lung's immunity inoculation, lack respiratory tract and lung's mucosal immune response, to the immune guarantor of aerosol sucking infection
Shield effect is poor, therefore lung's immunity inoculation is considered as the important immunization route for aerosol infection.Some researches show that powder
Agent can cause stronger mucosa-immune reaction compared with liquor, and reason may be that liquid vaccine is delivered after lung quickly by mucosal system
Removing campaign excrete, and the adhesive force that dry powder vaccine is delivered after lung in part is preferable, to delay mucous membrane pair
Its removing speed.Not only inducing systemic immune response after the transpulmonary inhalational immunization inoculation of aerosolized vaccine dry powder, usually may be used also
The respiratory tract and lung's mucosal immune response of traditional immunization route of inoculation shortcoming are induced, thus compared to traditional immunization inoculation side
Method, aerosolized vaccine dry powder can play more preferable or equal effect to sucking protection against infection effect.The suction of aerosolizable
