RESUMO
Serogroup Y and W135 Neisseria meningitidis capsular polysaccharide vaccines were tested as monovalent and divalent preparations in groups of 10 adult human volunteers at a dose of 50 (monovalent) or 100 micrograms (divalent) injected subcutaneously. Reactogenicity was low for the group Y vaccine and the group Y-W135 combined vaccine; 3 of 10 volunteers developed systemic reactions after group W135 vaccination. All three vaccines induced significant homologous and heterologous binding and bactericidal antibody. Except for group W135 bactericidal antibody, homologous responses exceeded heterologous responses, and divalent and monovalent vaccines induced equivalent homologous responses. Homologous bactericidal antibody responses were maintained for 4 weeks in 85% of group W135 vaccinates and in 100% of group Y vaccinates. Bactericidal antibody was induced in 11 of 11 group Y and 12 of 15 group W135 volunteers without preexisting respective bactericidal activities, regardless of which vaccine they received. For all three vaccines, antibody levels declined only slightly over 6 months. Prevaccination antibody levels positively affected postvaccination binding antibody levels, but not bactericidal levels.
