Cross-protection by MF59-adjuvanted influenza vaccine: neutralizing and haemagglutination-inhibiting antibody activity against A(H3N2) drifted influenza viruses.
2008
Summary Adjuvants enhance antibody response against vaccination. We compared the ability of MF59™-adjuvanted and non-adjuvanted subunit influenza vaccines, containing A/Wyoming/3/03(H3N2), to confer cross-protection against four consecutive drifted strains in the elderly. Neutralizing and haemagglutination-inhibiting antibody were measured. MF59™-adjuvanted vaccine induced a stronger booster response against A/Panama/2007/99(H3N2) than non-adjuvanted vaccine. A/Panama/2007/99(H3N2) circulated widely during the previous 5 years and was included in vaccines over four consecutive seasons. Broader serological protection against drifted strains that circulated 1 and 2 years after vaccination with A/Wyoming/3/03(H3N2) was observed with MF59™-adjuvanted vaccine. Thus, MF59™-adjuvanted vaccine confers greater immunogenicity than non-adjuvanted vaccines in vulnerable populations.
