“…The majority of subjects had seroprotective titres against diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B, poliovirus and Hib with antibody levels 1 month after the 2nd dose in the range of those observed 1 month after three-dose primary vaccination series [12,25], and reaching post-booster levels [14,16] after the 3rd dose. Although a surrogate marker (or markers) of protection against pertussis have not been identified, antibodies to pertussis antigens contained in acellular pertussis vaccines are implicated in protection [3,4,27].…”

“…A combined hexavalent diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis-hepatitis B virus-inactivated polio virus/Haemophilus influenzae b (DTPa-HBV-IPV/ Hib) vaccine has been developed to protect infants against six childhood diseases with a single injection and thus simplify the infant vaccination practice. This life [2,25]. Several European countries (including Italy, Sweden and Slovakia) recommend a 3, 5, 11 month infant vaccination schedule, which we have evaluated in our study.…”

“…The assay cut-off for pertussis antibodies was 5 ELISA Units (EL.U)/mL. As there is no established serological correlate of protection against pertussis, a vaccine response to pertussis was defined as the appearance of antibodies in initially seronegative infants or maintenance of pre-vaccination antibody concentration in infants who were seropositive prior to vaccination taking into account the natural decrease of maternal antibodies 18) . Neutralizing antibodies to poliovirus types 1, 2 and 3 were determined using a modification of the WHO micro-neutralization test method 19) with a titer of 8 considered protective.…”

“…Previous studies 12,13 established the immunogenicity of a novel combined DTPa-HBV-IPV vaccine and reported the vaccine to be safe and well tolerated. The purpose of this trial was to assess the safety and reactogenicity of the combined DTPa-HBV-IPV vaccine when coadministered as separate injections with commercially available Hib conjugate vaccines in comparison with coadministration of DTPa, Hib, and OPV as separate products in a large cohort of infants.…”
