To evaluate the immunogenicity of 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine in 52 nursing homes residents aged > or = 60 years, IgG antibodies to serotypes 1, 5, 6B, and 8 were measured by ELISA and compared before, and 1 and 12 months following vaccination. A significant immunological response for all serotypes was observed at 1 month after vaccination. The mean increase in antibody concentration was highly variable and ranged from 1.6 to 2.7. After 1 year, the mean concentrations remained significantly higher than prior to vaccination for serotypes 1, 6B, and 8, although there was a decrease in all mean IgG concentrations. Antibody levels were higher in men than in women, before and after immunisation. Post-vaccination values tended to be lower among subjects aged >75 years. Reduction in IgG concentrations by 33% 1 year after vaccination suggests that revaccination of institutionalised elderly people may be needed.
为评估23价肺炎球菌多糖疫苗在52名年龄≥60岁的养老院居民中的免疫原性,通过酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)测定了针对血清型1、5、6B和8的IgG抗体,并在接种疫苗前、接种后1个月和12个月进行了比较。接种疫苗后1个月观察到所有血清型均有显著的免疫反应。抗体浓度的平均增幅变化很大,范围为1.6至2.7。1年后,血清型1、6B和8的平均浓度仍显著高于接种疫苗前,尽管所有平均IgG浓度均有所下降。免疫前后,男性的抗体水平均高于女性。接种疫苗后,75岁以上受试者的值往往较低。接种疫苗1年后IgG浓度降低33%表明可能需要对机构养老的老年人进行再次接种。
