Presence of maternally-derived antibodies at time of immunization is known to often interfere with active infant immunization, although with variable degrees of clinical significance. In order to progressively decipher the rules that form the basis for these inhibitory effects on infant vaccine responses, two antigens (measles, tetanus) and various antigen presentation systems were evaluated in murine early life immunization models either in absence or presence of maternal antibodies. Both conventional (proteins, conjugate vaccines) and new (live viral vectors, DNA plasmids) antigen presentation systems were found to be similarly susceptible to the inhibitory influence of maternal antibodies. Factors emerging as crucial determinants of maternal antibody-mediated effects on responses to both live and non-live vaccines include (i) the level of maternal antibodies present at immunization, (ii) the use of distinct vaccines in mothers and pups and (iii) their distinct influence on B cell and T cell vaccine responses.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001402 B-Lymphocytes Lymphoid cells concerned with humoral immunity.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
