A controlled field trial of a serogroup A meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine.

A controlled field trial of a serogroup A meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine was conducted at three locations in Egypt during the winter cerebrospinal meningitis (CSM) season of 1971-72. The study population consisted of schoolchildren 6-15 years of age. No cases of serogroup A meningococcal CSM occurred in the group of students vaccinated with the test vaccine whereas 8 cases occurred in the control group vaccinated with tetanus toxoid, and 151 cases occurred in an unvaccinated contrast group. The case rate was significantly different between the test and control groups as well as between the test and contrast groups but was similar between the control and contrast groups. The previously demonstrated safety of the vaccine was confirmed. A significant serological response was elicited in the majority of the vaccinated students.

Quantitative determination of the human immune response to immunization with meningococcal vaccines.

Radioactive antigen binding tests have been developed to measure quantitatively the antibody response of 167 adults, 84 children, and 51 infants to several different preparations of group A and group C meningococcal polysaccharides. Almost all the adults injected responded and the geometric mean responses were approximately 15 mug/ml of antibody protein in individuals vaccinated subcutaneously with two preparations of group A vaccine. The geometric mean antibody concentration after immunization with two preparations of group C vaccine was approximately 35 mug/ml. Most children aged 7 yr responded to immunization with two group A vaccines, and their mean response was only slightly less than that seen in adults. There was no difference between the subcutaneous and the intradermal route if both were given with jet gun. The majority of infants aged 6-13 months responded to a preparation of group A vaccine and the geometric mean titer was approximately 1.2 mug/ml. Adults, children, and infants responded significantly less to a preparation of group A polysaccharide which was of low molceular weight.
