Abstract

Abstract Methods and vaccines for the production of antibodies to infectious organisms are described. Live recombinant adenovirus containing a foreign gene coding for an antigen produced by another infectious organism is delivered to the intestine of a warm-blooded animal in an enteric-coated dosage form, whereupon the virus infects the gut wall and induces the production of antibodies or cell mediated immunity to both adenovirus and the other infectious organism.
