title: [The effect of vaccination on local immunity indices; the determination of antimeningococcal antibodies in saliva].
abstract: Local immunity characteristics were studied in 130 young males; of these, 80 had been immunized with group A meningococcal vaccine. In nonstimulated saliva, collected prior to vaccination, then on days 7, 14 and 30 after vaccination, the levels of IgA antibodies to group A meningococcal group-specific polysaccharide (PS-A) were determined in the enzyme immunoassay, and secretory IgA and IgA, IgG, IgM were determined by Mancini's method. The study revealed that after the parenteral administration of group A meningococcal vaccine an increase in the concentrations of SIgA and IgA antibodies to PS-A occurred. The manifestation of changes in local immunity characteristics in response to meningococcal vaccine depended on the initial level of IgA antibodies to PS-A.
