Age-Related Differences In Cell-Mediated Immunity To Varicella-Zoster Virus Among Children And Adults Immunized With Live Attenuated Varicella Vaccine
1 Jan 1995
Abstract excerpt
Live attenuated varicella vaccine elicits protection against varicella-zoster virus (VZV), but adults require two doses to achieve optimal seroconversion rates. To assess the potential role of cell-mediated immunity (CMI), T cell proliferation to VZV antigen was compared in children and adults. Mean stimulation indices (SI) in two cohorts of 39 children tested 6 weeks after vaccination were 28.6 +/- 6.21 and 22.1...
