The journal Clinical and Experimental Immunology publishes an interesting study with BACTEK administered through the sublingual route.
Both the specific response to the antigens contained in the vaccine and the clinical outcome of vaccinated patients with recurrent respiratory infections were assessed.
This study, performed by the Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón, Madrid, shows the immunological and clinical improvement after vaccination. BACTEK is a polyvalent bacterial vaccine manufactured by Inmunotek.
