title: Total and IgE antibody levels following booster immunization with aluminum absorbed and nonabsorbed tetanus toxoid in humans.
abstract: Total and IgE serum antibodies to tetanus toxoid were measured in 32 healthy adults, 3-4 weeks following booster immunization with either plain or aluminum hydroxide-absorbed tetanus toxoid. Whereas no difference in the total antibody values was observed, the level of anti-tetanus toxoid IgE antibodies was significantly higher in the group boostered with the adjuvanted vaccine.
