Long-term antibody levels and booster responses in South African children immunized with nonavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.

چکیده
Children who had initially received three doses of either a nonavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine containing serotypes 1, 4, 5, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F or placebo at 6, 10, and 14 weeks of age were bled at 9 and 18 months for determination of antibody concentrations. The children were then randomized to receive a booster dose of either the 9-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine or a 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine and antibody levels determined 1 month later. At 9 months, the geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) were significantly higher for all vaccine serotypes in vaccinated children compared with controls (means varied from 0.49 microg/ml for serotype 4 to 2.37 microg/ml for serotype 14). At 18 months, antibody concentrations remained significantly higher in vaccinated children (means varied from 0.19 microg/ml for serotype 4 to 1.1 microg/ml for serotype 14). In children who had received conjugate vaccine in infancy, the conjugate vaccine at 18 months produced a significant booster response for serotypes 1, 6B, 14, 19F, and 23F (means varied from 2.74 microg/ml for serotype 19F to 15.52 microg/ml for serotype 6B) and produced a comparable response to a first dose of conjugate at this age for serotypes 4, 5, 9V, and 18C. Boosting at 18 months with polysaccharide vaccine produced higher antibody concentrations to all serotypes in children who had previously received conjugate vaccine compared to children who had not received the conjugate vaccine in infancy. In conclusion, the 9-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine given in infancy elicits significant and long-lasting antibody responses which can be boosted with either the conjugate or polysaccharide vaccines.

To investigate long-term antibody persistence following the administration of the 10-valent pneumococcal non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae protein D conjugate vaccine (PHiD-CV), we present results of 2 follow-up studies assessing antibody persistence following 2 3+1 schedules up to 4 (NCT00624819 - Study A) and 5 years (NCT00891176 - Study B) post-booster vaccination. In Study A, antibody per...

Background: Pneumococcal vaccine provides protection against invasive pneumococcal disease in population at risk. This study was conducted to compare the antibody response to 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine in patients with thalassemia major. Methods: A randomized cross-over clinical trial was performed on 50 asplenic patients with t...

Pneumococcal infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children with sickle-cell disease (SCD). Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) are immunogenic in healthy infants <2 years of age but have not been evaluated in young children with SCD. Infants with SCD were immunized with a 7-valent PCV (Wyeth-Lederle Vaccines & Pediatrics) at 2, 4, and 6 months of age. A booster dos...

BACKGROUND Both the 10- and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV10 and PCV13) induce immunological memory against Streptococcus pneumoniae infections caused by vaccine serotypes. In addition to comparing serum antibody levels, we investigated frequencies of serotype-specific plasma cells (PCs) and memory B-cells (Bmems) as potential predictors of long-term immunity around the booster ...
