Characterization of the antibody response to a Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine in children with recurrent lower respiratory tract infection.

Abstract:

:Children with recurrent lower respiratory tract infection (RLRI) may respond poorly to polysaccharide antigens. To examine how such children respond to a polysaccharide coupled to a protein carrier, we immunized 15 children with RLRI aged 8-69 months and 15 carefully age-matched healthy controls once with a Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) conjugate vaccine. Total IgG subclasses, total antipolysaccharide Hib antibodies, and antipolysaccharide Hib antibodies of IgM, IgG, IgA, and IgG1-4 specificity were determined by ELISA. There were no significant differences between the two groups in any single total IgG subclass, but total IgG measured as the sum of all four subclasses was significantly lower in the children with RLRI than in the controls (P = 0.036). Before vaccination, the children with RLRI had significantly less IgG antipolysaccharide Hib antibody than the controls (P = 0.005), whereas 1 month later they had significantly more IgM antibody (P = 0.038). No other significant differences were found between the groups before or after immunization with respect to antipolysaccharide Hib antibodies. Since naturally occurring IgG antibodies are thought to be acquired partly as a consequence of antigenic stimulation on mucosal surfaces, we hypothesize that the low level of specific IgG found before immunization, as well as the low total IgG in the children with RLRI, may reflect an impaired ability to prime through mucosal surfaces. This is supported by our finding of an increased IgM response to Hib conjugate vaccine in these children, since this isotype predominates in the primary immune response, i.e., in the absence of immunologic memory.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
