Description
Buccaline Oral Vaccine is a comprehensive cold and chill fighting vaccine consisting of the bacterial strains, namely Haemophilus influenza, pneumococci (I, II, III), Streptococcus agalactiae and Staphylococcus aureus. This unique blend of bacterial strains provides the body with strong immunity against colds, illnesses, ailments and upper respiratory tract infections. The vaccine is effective in preventing cold complications and bacterial infections like prophylaxis.
Buccaline Oral Vaccine is an oral application consisting of inactivated whole cells. The bacteria it contains are the pathogens typically found in chills and colds. Through this, the immunocompetent lymphocytes are induced by the bacterial surface antigens found in Buccaline to undergo differentiation and maturation.
Buccaline Oral Vaccine offers a gastric juice resistant tablet coating. Upon reaching the small intestine, the bacterial antigens found in the tablet are engulfed by the macrophages in a process known as phagocytosis. Then, the bacterial antigens pass through the reticuloendothelial tissue and induce the immune system to develop a systemic, specific immunity.
Several clinical trials are conducted to determine the efficacy of the Buccaline vaccine in improving the immunity of individuals. One study concerning workers of a mechanical plant in Gaz reveals that the vaccine provides 62% protective effect for the vaccinated workers compared to the unvaccinated ones.
In another trial, Buccaline vaccine provided protection for patients suffering from chronic bronchitis. This particular study looked into the immunoprophylaxis of the patients. Observations reveal that about 66% total protective effect is observed among vaccinated patients compared to those who were not.
