title: [Specific immune response to vaccination with an inactivated flue vaccine depending on prevaccine status and age of the person vaccinated].
abstract: Specific antibody immune response to vaccination with commercial inactivated trivalent vaccine A(H1N1) + A(H3N2) + B (IgA, IgG, IgG, subclasses G1, G3, G4, and accumulation of antiCD8) was studied in subjects aged 20-95 years. The initial immune status before vaccination is significant for a positive immune response to the vaccine. Subjects responding to immunization by an increment in specific IgG had a much lower prevaccination level of these antibodies than subjects without these Ig conversion. Antibody immune response to vaccination depended on patient's age. All vaccinees aged 20-25 years developed an increment in IgG to at least one of influenza antigens used. Specific postvaccinal immune response to inactivated influenza vaccine included accumulation of G1, G3, and A antibodies, but not G4 or E antibodies. This latter fact suggests the absence of sensitizing effect of vaccination. In elderly subjects an increment in G1, G3, and A antibodies may not involve an increase in the total level of IgG. In part of elderly subjects secretion of specific antibodies was observed in the presence of increased concentration of antilymphocytic antibodies (antiCD8), indicating a possibility of autoimmune reactions in subjects of this age after injection of inactivated influenza vaccine.
