We conducted a clinical trial in October 2009 to evaluate the immunogenicity of the AS03-adjuvanted influenza vaccine (pH1N1 vaccine) in health care workers (HCWs). By 2 weeks after vaccination, 97% had protective hemagglutinin inhibition (HI) titers (≥ 40) however, 16% were low responders (LR) and failed to maintain a protective response 90 days after vaccination.
We analyzed the humoral responses (HI, antibody-secreting cell [ASC], and serum immunoglobulin G [IgG]) in 15 LRs and 25 control HCWs. Twelve LRs were revaccinated with the pH1N1 vaccine, and 7 were subsequently vaccinated with the 2010 seasonal trivalent influenza vaccine. We conducted a long-term analysis of the humoral and CD4(+) T-helper (Th) 1 responses.
The LRs had a slower HI antibody response than the control HCWs, with protective antibody titers not reached until 2 weeks after vaccination in the majority of the participants. The LRs also had significantly lower IgG ASCs at day 7 and HA1-specific serum IgG responses at day 21, compared with the control HCWs. Revaccination with the pH1N1 vaccine elicited rapid HI antibody, ASC, memory B cell, and multifunctional CD4(+) Th1 cell responses.
This study shows that revaccination of low-responding HCWs with the pH1N1 vaccine is required for maintaining long-term protection.

我们于 2009 年 10 月开展了一项临床试验,旨在评估 AS03 佐剂流感疫苗(pH1N1 疫苗)在卫生保健工作者(HCWs)中的免疫原性。接种后 2 周,97%的人产生了保护性血凝抑制(HI)滴度(≥40),然而,有 16%的人是低应答者(LR),并且在接种后 90 天无法维持保护性反应。
我们分析了 15 名 LR 和 25 名对照 HCWs 的体液反应(HI、抗体分泌细胞[ASC]和血清免疫球蛋白 G[IgG])。12 名 LR 用 pH1N1 疫苗再次接种,随后 7 名 LR 用 2010 年季节性三价流感疫苗接种。我们对体液和 CD4(+)辅助性 T 细胞(Th)1 反应进行了长期分析。
LR 的 HI 抗体反应比对照 HCWs 慢,大多数参与者直到接种后 2 周才达到保护性抗体滴度。LR 在第 7 天的 IgG ASC 和第 21 天的 HA1 特异性血清 IgG 反应也显著低于对照 HCWs。用 pH1N1 疫苗再次接种可迅速诱导 HI 抗体、ASC、记忆 B 细胞和多功能 CD4(+)Th1 细胞反应。
本研究表明,需要对低应答的 HCWs 用 pH1N1 疫苗进行再次接种,以维持长期保护。
