“…M2e is present on the virus' surface in low quantities and, thus, it is poorly immunogenic (Wu et al, 2007 ). However, strategies to improve immunogenicity, such as adjuvants, multimeric forms of M2e, co-immunization with other influenza vaccines, or fusion with carrier proteins (Kim et al, 2013 ; Lee et al, 2015 ; Tang et al, 2017 ) stimulate broad cross-reactive immune responses and provide protection against heterologous, hetorosubtypic challenge in mice (Lee et al, 2015 ; Tao et al, 2017 ). Human clinical trial demonstrated the safety and immunogenicityof different M2e vaccine candidates (reviewed in Turley et al, 2011 ; Kolpe et al, 2017 ).…”
