To investigate the long-term effects on immunity of an inactivated enterovirus 71 (EV71) vaccine and its protective efficacy.
A sub-cohort of 1,100 volunteers from Guangxi Province in China was eligible for enrolment and randomly administered either the EV71 vaccine or a placebo on days 0 and 28 in a phase III clinical trial and then observed for the following 2 years with approval by an independent ethics committee of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. Serum samples from the 350 participants who provided a full series of blood samples (at all the sampling points) within the 2-year period were collected. Vaccine-induced immune effects, including the neutralizing antibody titres and cross-protection against different genotypes of EV71, were examined. This study also evaluated the protective efficacy of this vaccine based upon clinical diagnosis.
This sub-cohort showed a >60% drop-out rate over 2 years. The seroconversion rates among the 161 immunized subjects remained >95% at the end of study. The geometric mean titres of neutralizing antibodies (anti-genotype C4) 360 days after vaccination in 350 subjects were 81.0 (subjects aged 6-11 months), 98.4 (12-23 months), 95.0 (24-35 months), and 81.8 (36-71 months). These titres subsequently increased to 423.1, 659.0, 545.0, and 321.9, respectively, at 540 days post-immunization (d.p.i.), and similar levels were maintained at 720 d.p.i. Higher IFN-γ/IL-4-specific responses to the C4 genotype of EV71 and cross-neutralization reactivity against major EV71 genotype strains were observed in the vaccine group compared to those in the placebo group. Five EV71-infected subjects were observed in the placebo-treated control group and none in the vaccine-immunized group in per-protocol analysis.
These results are consistent with the induction of dynamic immune responses and protective efficacy of the vaccine against most circulating EV71 strains.

研究肠道病毒71型(EV71)灭活疫苗对免疫力的长期影响及其保护效力。
在中国广西的1100名志愿者亚队列符合入组条件,并在一项III期临床试验的第0天和第28天随机接种EV71疫苗或安慰剂,随后在中国广西壮族自治区独立伦理委员会批准下进行为期2年的观察。收集了2年内提供了完整系列血样(在所有采样点)的350名参与者的血清样本。检测了疫苗诱导的免疫效应,包括中和抗体滴度和对不同基因型EV71的交叉保护作用。本研究还基于临床诊断评估了该疫苗的保护效力。
该亚队列在2年内的失访率超过60%。161名免疫受试者在研究结束时的血清转化率仍>95%。350名受试者在接种疫苗360天后的中和抗体(抗C4基因型)几何平均滴度分别为6-11月龄组81.0、12-23月龄组98.4、24-35月龄组95.0和36-71月龄组81.8。这些滴度在免疫后540天(d.p.i.)分别升至423.1、659.0、545.0和321.9,并在720 d.p.i.维持相似水平。与安慰剂组相比,疫苗组对EV71 C4基因型有更高的IFN-γ/IL-4特异性应答以及对主要EV71基因型毒株的交叉中和反应性。符合方案分析中,安慰剂治疗的对照组观察到5名EV71感染受试者,疫苗免疫组未观察到。
这些结果与疫苗诱导动态免疫反应及对大多数流行的EV71毒株的保护效力一致。
