Abstract
Papers presented at this conference convincingly demonstrate that oral immunization represents an attractive and feasible alternative to systemic immunization routes particularly for the induction of specific antibodies of the IgA isotype in various external secretions. Recent technical improvement in the antigen delivery systems should further facilitate the acceptance of oral immunization as a route of choice for the prevention of mucosa-contracted diseases of viral and bacterial etiology as well as allergies.
