Title: | Effect of a prepregnancy pertussis booster dose on maternal antibody titers in young infants | Authors: | Leuridan, Elke HENS, Niel Peeters, Natasja de Witte, Liene Van der Meeren, Olivier Van Damme, Pierre |
Issue Date: | 2011 | Publisher: | LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS | Source: | PEDIATRIC INFECTIOUS DISEASE JOURNAL, 30(7). p. 608-610 | Abstract: | To examine the influence of a pertussis booster vaccination on the transfer of maternal antibodies, 24 nonpregnant women received a tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis booster vaccine between 2 consecutive pregnancies. Blood was drawn from mothers and off-spring. Efficient transplacental antibody transfer and significantly higher antibody titers against 3 pertussis antigens were observed in cord blood and in blood of 1-month-old infants born after a maternal booster vaccination compared with results in their siblings born before the booster administration. | Notes: | [Leuridan, Elke; Peeters, Natasja; de Witte, Liene; Van Damme, Pierre] Univ Antwerp, Ctr Evaluat Vaccinat, Vaccine & Infect Dis Inst, WHO Collaborating Ctr Control & Prevent Infect Di, B-2020 Antwerp, Belgium.
