Background: Effective response to emerging pandemic threats is complicated by the need to develop specific vaccines and other medical products. The availability of broadly specific countermeasures that could be deployed early in the pandemic could significantly alter its course and save countless lives. Live attenuated vaccines (LAVs) were shown to induce non-specific protection against a broad spectrum of off-target pathogens by stimulating innate immune responses.

Aim: To perform preclinical study of subunit monovalent adsorbed inactivated influenza vaccine "PANDEFLU" [strains A/California/7/2009 (HIN1)v].

Materials And Methods: Preclinical study of acute toxicity on experimental animals (assessment of vaccine's toxic effects on organs and body systems; pathomorphologic study of organs and tissues after administration of the vaccine; assessment of its influence on hematologic indicators).

Results: It was shown that administration of the vaccine did not lead to death of animals as well as to decrease of body mass or development of pathologic, focal sclerotic changes in parenchymal cells and visceral stroma; the vaccine did not negatively change hematologic and biochemical indicators of blood.

Aim: To perform preclinical assessment of new live monovalent vaccine Influvir against pandemic influenza virus A/H1N1 [strainA/17/California/2009/38 (H1N1)].

Materials And Methods: Preclinical studies of acute toxicity and effect of Influvir vaccine on systems and organs of laboratory animals (rats and outbred white mice) was performed according to modern requirements of Institute of Toxicology.

Results: According to results of toxicometry and necroscopy, live monovalent influenza vaccine Influvir during intransal application was safe and had good tolerability during 14 days of observation for experimental animals after acute application.
