    Snippet: In summary, we demonstrated that PEI, a mucosal stimulant for topical intranasal administration, is highly effective in preventing influenza virus infection. Compared to the bacteria-produced toxin CTB, the chemically synthesized polymer PEI is safer for mucosal application in humans. PEI has been tested in several clinical trials for gene delivery in vivo, demonstrating a good safety profile. 9 Moreover, its low cost of production and abundance .....

Compared to the bacteria-produced toxin CTB, the chemically synthesized polymer PEI is safer for mucosal application in humans. PEI has been tested in several clinical trials for gene delivery in vivo, demonstrating a good safety profile. 9 Moreover, its low cost of production and abundance makes PEI more suitable for urgent and widespread use during a time of influenza epidemic or pandemic.
