ABSTRACT:

Unlabelled

Here we report the first evaluation of T-cell responses upon a second acellular pertussis booster vaccination in Dutch children at 9 years of age, 5 years after a preschool booster vaccination. Blood samples of children 9 years of age were studied longitudinally until 1 year after the second aP booster and compared with those after the first aP booster in children 4 and 6 years of age from a cross-sectional study. After stimulation with pertussis-vaccine antigens, Th1, Th2 and Th17 cytokine responses were measured and effector memory cells (CCR7-CD45RA-) were characterized by 8-colour FACS analysis. The second aP booster vaccination at pre-adolescent age in wP primed individuals did increase pertussis-specific Th1 and Th2 cytokine responses. Noticeably, almost all T-cell responses had increased with age and were already high before the booster vaccination at 9 years of age. The enhancement of T-cell immunity during the 5 year following the booster at 4 years of age is probably caused by natural boosting due to the a high circulation of pertussis. However, the incidence of pertussis is high in adolescents and adults who have only received the Dutch wP vaccine during infancy and no booster at 4 years of age. Therefore, an aP booster vaccination at adolescence or later in these populations might improve long-term immunity against pertussis and reduce the transmission to the vulnerable newborns.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Infants <?3?months of age are at highest risk for developing severe complications after pertussis. The majority of pregnant women has low concentrations of pertussis-specific antibodies and thus newborns are insufficiently protected by maternally transferred antibodies. Acellular pertussis vaccination during pregnancy was recently implemented in various countries. Here, we assessed the evidence for safety and effectiveness of pertussis vaccination during pregnancy. METHODS:We searched Medline, Embase, and ClinicalTrials.gov from January 1st 2010 to January 10th 2019. We assessed risk of bias (ROB) using the Cochrane ROB tool and ROBINS-I. We evaluated the quality of evidence using the GRADE approach. RESULTS:We identified 1273 articles and included 22 studies (14 for safety; 8 for effectiveness), comprising 1.4 million pregnant women in safety studies and 855,546 mother-infant-pairs in effectiveness studies. No significant differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated women and their infants were observed for safety outcomes with the exception of fever and chorioamnionitis. Compared to no vaccination, three studies showed a significantly increased relative risk for the presence of the ICD-9 code for chorioamnionitis in electronic patient data after pertussis vaccination. However, no study reported an increased risk for clinical sequelae of chorioamnionitis after vaccination during pregnancy, such as preterm birth or neonatal intensive care unit admission. Vaccine effectiveness against pertussis in infants of immunized mothers ranged from 69 to 91% for pertussis prevention, from 91 to 94% for prevention of hospitalization and was 95% for prevention of death due to pertussis. Risk of bias was serious to critical for safety outcomes and moderate to serious for effectiveness outcomes. GRADE evidence quality was moderate to very low, depending on outcome. CONCLUSION:Although an increased risk for a diagnosis of fever and chorioamnionitis was detected in pregnant women after pertussis vaccination, there was no association with a higher frequency of clinically relevant sequelae. Vaccine effectiveness for prevention of infant pertussis, hospitalization and death is high. Pertussis vaccination during pregnancy has an overall positive benefit-risk ratio. In view of the overall quality of available evidence ongoing surveillance of chorioamnionitis and its potential sequelae is recommended when pertussis vaccination in pregnancy is implemented.

Project description:BackgroundPertussis can lead to serious disease and even death in infants. Older adults are more vulnerable to complications as well. In high-income countries, acellular pertussis vaccines are used for priming vaccination. In the administration of booster vaccinations to different age groups and target populations there is a substantial between-country variation. We investigated the effect of age on the response to acellular pertussis booster vaccination in three European countries.MethodsThis phase IV longitudinal intervention study performed in Finland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom between October 2017 and January 2019 compared the vaccine responses between healthy participants of four age groups: children (7-10y), adolescents (11-15y), young adults (20-34y), and older adults (60-70y). All participants received a three-component acellular pertussis vaccine. Serum IgG and IgA antibody concentrations to pertussis antigens at day 0, 28, and 1 year were measured with a multiplex immunoassay, using pertussis toxin concentrations at day 28 as primary outcome. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrialsRegister.eu (2016-003,678-42).FindingsChildren (n = 109), adolescents (n = 121), young adults (n = 74), and older adults (n = 75) showed high IgG antibody concentrations to pertussis toxin at day 28 with GMCs of 147 (95% CI 120-181), 161 (95% CI 132-196), 103 (95% CI 80-133), and 121 IU/ml (95% CI 94-155), respectively. A significant increase in GMCs for vaccine antigens in all age groups by 28 days was found which had decreased by 1 year. Differences in patterns of IgG GMCs at 28 days and 1 year post-vaccination did not have a consistent relationship to age. In contrast, IgA antibodies for all antigens increased with age at all timepoints.InterpretationAcellular pertussis booster vaccination induces significant serum IgG responses to pertussis antigens across the age range which are not uniformly less in older adults. Acellular boosters could be considered for older adults to reduce the health and economic burden of pertussis.

Project description:BackgroundRecombinant pertussis vaccines inducing long-lasting immune responses could help to control the rise in pertussis. We here report on persisting antibody responses 2 and 3 years after booster vaccination with a new generation recombinant acellular pertussis vaccine.MethodsParticipants of a phase 2/3 randomised-controlled clinical trial with a monovalent pertussis vaccine containing genetically inactivated pertussis toxin (aPgen) or its tetanus and diphtheria toxoids combination (TdaPgen), or a chemically detoxified comparator vaccine (Tdapchem), (originally conducted between July and August 2015) were invited to participate in observational studies of persisting antibody responses 2 and 3 years after vaccination. Serum IgG against pertussis toxin (PT-IgG) and filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA-IgG) were assessed by ELISA, and PT-neutralising antibodies (PT-Nab) by Chinese Hamster Ovary cell assay.FindingsWaning of antibodies stabilised in aPgen and TdaPgen vaccinees 2 and 3 years after vaccination. Three years post-vaccination PT-neutralising antibodies remained 4·6-fold (95% Confidence Interval (CI) 2·6-8·1) and 3·7-fold (95% CI 2·2-6·1) higher, PT-IgG antibodies 3·0-fold (95% CI 2·2-4·1) and 2·5-fold (95% CI 1·9-3·3) higher, and FHA-IgG antibodies 1·8-fold (95% CI 1·3-2·5) and 1·6-fold (95% CI 1·2-2·1) higher than baseline in aPgen and TdaPgen recipients, respectively. In the Tdapchem group, PT-neutralising and PT-IgG and FHA-IgG antibodies were back at baseline levels 2 years post-vaccination. Three years post-vaccination seroconversion rates for PT-neutralising antibodies were 65·0% (95% CI 44·1-85·9) and 55·0% (95% CI 33·2-76·8) in aPgen and TdaPgen recipients, respectively.InterpretationConsidering the persistence of elevated antibody responses 3 years post-booster vaccination, genetically detoxified monovalent aPgen and TdaPgen vaccines can be expected to induce longer-lasting protection than chemically inactivated Tdap vaccines.FundingBioNet-Asia.
