BACKGROUND:Influenza-virus hemagglutinin (HA) protein expressed in insect cells by recombinant baculovirus is a candidate influenza vaccine. METHODS: In a randomized, double-blind trial conducted in 399 adults > or = 65 years of age, the efficacy of trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) licensed for intramuscular injection was compared with that of trivalent baculovirus-expressed HA vaccine administered at doses of 15 microg, 45 microg, or 135 microg of each HA. RESULTS: Compared with TIV, baculovirus-expressed HA vaccine was safe and induced better serum antibody responses to the H3 component when administered at doses of 45 microg or 135 microg of each HA. CONCLUSIONS:Baculovirus-expressed HA is a safe and immunogenic influenza vaccine in elderly adults.
