Bifidobacterium breve YIT4064 was tested an an adjuvant for oral influenza vaccine by the murine Peyer's patch cell culture method. The organism augmented production of anti-influenza virus hemagglutinin immunoglobulin A antibody by Peyer's patch cells in response to addition of hemagglutinin. These antibodies may be disseminated to the respiratory mucosal tissue and prevent influenza virus infection.
