These promising results attracted interest from Mucosis
B.V., a Dutch biotechnology company (mucosis is the first
spin-off of the Biomade Technology Foundation) (Audouy
et al. 2006). A phase I clinical trial of a mucosis influenza
vaccine for human use (FluGEM) is almost finished.
FluGEM is the only vaccine, based on LAB as carriers, to
reach this stage of investigation.
