Humoral immune response to vaccine antigens is known to be reduced in perinatally HIV-infected children. Lymphocyte immunophenotyping, humoral immunity to hepatitis B after primary immunization and response to revaccination were evaluated in 40 HIV-infected adolescents on HAART and 23 healthy age-matched controls. Anti-HBs antibody levels >or=10 mIU/mL were found in 18/40 (40.5%) of the HIV-infected adolescents and 18/23 (78.3%) of the HIV-negative adolescents from Control group. Adolescents of HIV group with anti-HBs>or=1 0 mIU/mL presented a higher CD4+ T cell percentage, higher naïve and central memory CD8+ T cell percentages and lower immune activation markers. After revaccination, 12/18 (66.7%) adolescents of HIV group responded. Those adolescents who did not respond to revaccination presented a lower CD4+ T cell percentage, higher immune activation markers and more frequently detectable HIV viral load. We concluded that lower immune activation, higher CD4+ T cell percentage and better control of HIV replication may be associated with hepatitis B vaccine response.
已知围生期感染 HIV 的儿童对疫苗抗原的体液免疫反应降低。对接受高效抗逆转录病毒治疗(HAART)的 40 名 HIV 感染青少年和 23 名年龄匹配的健康对照组进行淋巴细胞免疫表型、初次免疫后乙型肝炎的体液免疫和再接种反应评估。在 40 名 HIV 感染青少年中,有 18/40(40.5%)的人抗-HBs 抗体水平>或=10 mIU/mL,而在对照组 23 名 HIV 阴性青少年中,有 18/23(78.3%)的人抗-HBs 抗体水平>或=10 mIU/mL。HIV 组中抗-HBs>或=10 mIU/mL 的青少年具有更高的 CD4+T 细胞百分比、更高的幼稚和中央记忆 CD8+T 细胞百分比以及更低的免疫激活标志物。在再接种后,12/18(66.7%)名 HIV 组青少年有反应。那些对再接种没有反应的青少年表现出更低的 CD4+T 细胞百分比、更高的免疫激活标志物和更频繁可检测到的 HIV 病毒载量。我们得出结论,较低的免疫激活、较高的 CD4+T 细胞百分比和更好地控制 HIV 复制可能与乙型肝炎疫苗反应有关。
