Abstract
This review summarizes the experience in laboratory- and industrial-scale syntheses of glycoconjugate vaccines used for prevention of infectious diseases caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b bacteria based on the linear capsular polysaccharide poly-3-β-D-ribosyl-(1→1)-D-ribitol-5-phosphate (PRP) or related synthetic oligosaccharide ligands. The methods for preparation of related oligosaccharide derivatives and results of the studies evaluating effect of their length on immunogenic properties of the conjugates with protein carriers are overviewed.

Front Pediatr 2021; 9:716779. [PMID: 34660483 PMCID: PMC8518599 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2021.716779] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2021] [Accepted: 09/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: Vaccination is one of the most convenient and safe preventive care measures available for children. The Pentavalent vaccine which protects against five major infections including diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B(HepB) and Haemophilus influenzae type b(Hib) was added to the Iranian national immunization program in November 2014. This study aimed to determine the Pentavalent vaccine adverse events and immunogenicity in an Iranian children population in Sari, northern Iran. Method: In this descriptive-analytical study, children who were vaccinated with three doses of the Pentavalent vaccine were studied. Two venous blood samples were obtained before the first dose and 4 weeks following the last booster dose. Possible local and systemic complications of the vaccine were recorded until 7 days following vaccination. Antibody titers were measured by quantitative ELISA kits and geometric mean titer(GMT) was calculated for each vaccine component before and after 3 doses of vaccine. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 20.0 software and Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were used for analysis. Results: Immunogenicity of the Pentavalent vaccine for tetanus was 100%(GMT:2.52 Eu/mL, 95%CI: 2.22-2.88), Hib 98.7%(GMT:2.44 Eu/mL, 95%CI: 2.06-2.89), HepB 98.7%(GMT:153.54 Eu/mL, 95%CI: 133.73-176.29), diphtheria 93.1%(GMT:0.43 Eu/mL, 95%CI:0.37-0.51) and pertussis were 63.7% (GMT:19.44 Eu/mL, 95%CI:16.42-23.03). The most common systemic complication after vaccination was fever. Also, one infant cried for more than 3 hours after the second dose. Other serious side effects were not observed. Conclusion: The Pentavalent vaccine used in Iran can cause adequate antibody response against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, Hib and hepatitis B in most cases with minimal side effects. The immunogenicity of this vaccine is significantly lower for pertussis. In this study, no severe complication leading to contraindication to subsequent injections was reported. So, the present policy in replacing triple DTP vaccine with Pentavalent vaccine should be continued in Iran.
