Transdermal immune preparation, method for production of the same, and transdermal immunization method using the same

Abstract

This invention is concerned with transdermal immune preparations which can exhibit a high immunological activity without containing any adjuvant, methods for producing the preparation, and transdermal immunization methods using the preparation. The transdermal immune preparations can regulate the immune response by applying the preparation to an intact skin, and which comprises a base material and an antigen or artificial synthetic nucleic acid laminated on the surface of the base material; the methods for producing transdermal immune preparations which comprises putting drops of an aqueous solution or suspension prepared by dissolving or suspending an antigen in water or a water-containing alcohol on the surface of a base material in order for the water or the water-containing alcohol to be absorbed in the base material, thereby forming an layer containing the antigen in a concentrated state on the surface of the base material; and the transdermal immunization methods which is characterized by applying the transdermal immune preparation to an intact skin to regulate the immune response.
