Journal Article
Duration of Humoral Immunity to Common Viral and Vaccine Antigens
2007
Overview
In this study, humoral immunity after vaccination or natural infection was assessed for several common pathogens. Antibodies against varicella–zoster virus, measles, and mumps were long-lived (estimated half-lives, ≥50 years), and antibodies against tetanus and diphtheria were short-lived (estimated half-lives, 11 and 19 years, respectively). Antibody titers were poorly correlated with peripheral-blood memory B cells.
Antibodies against varicella–zoster virus, measles, and mumps were long-lived, and antibodies against tetanus and diphtheria were short-lived.
Recovery from acute viral or microbial infection often results in long-term or even lifelong immunity.

Although the importance of sustaining protective humoral immunity is widely recognized, the mechanisms involved in this maintenance remain unclear.

To address the issue of antibody maintenance after infection or vaccination, we conducted a longitudinal analysis of antibody titers against multiple antigens with the use of serum samples banked from a combination of scheduled (annual) and event-based collections. On the basis of these studies, we determined whether antigen-specific antibody responses were measurably boosted through environmental exposure, infection, or vaccination. Moreover, we determined the duration . . .
