Résumé
Exploring factors that affect immune responses to immunizations in infants born to women immunized with tetanus-diphtheria-acellular-pertussis (Tdap) in pregnancy compared with unimmunized women is important in designing immunization programs. Individual-participant data meta-analysis of 8 studies reporting post-immunization immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels to vaccine antigens in infants born to either women immunized with Tdap in pregnancy or unimmunized women, using mixed-effects models. In infants of Tdap-immunized women, two-fold higher levels of anti-pertussis toxin (PT) and anti-diphtheria-toxoid (DT) IgG pre-primary immunization were associated with 9% and 10% lower post-primary immunization levels, (geometric mean ratio [GMR], PT: 0.91; 95% CI, 0.88-0.95,n = 494, DT: 0.9; 0.87-0.93,n = 519). Timing of immunization in pregnancy did not affect post-primary immunization anti-Bordetella pertussis, anti-tetanus-toxoid (TT) and anti-DT IgG levels. Spacing of infant immunization did not affect post-primary immunization anti-B. pertussis and anti-DT levels. In infants of Tdap-immunized women, two-fold higher levels of anti-PT and anti-filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA) IgG pre-primary immunization were associated with lower post-booster immunization levels, (GMR, PT: 0.91; 0.85-0.97,n = 224, FHA: 0.92; 0.85-0.99,n = 232). Timing of immunization in pregnancy did not affect post-booster immunization anti-Bordetella pertussis, anti-tetanus-toxoid (TT) and anti-DT IgG levels. Spacing of infant immunization did not affect post-booster immunization anti-PT, anti-pertactin (PRN), anti-TT and anti-DT IgG levels. In infants of unimmunized women, two-fold higher IgG levels of some vaccine antigens pre-primary immunization were associated with 8-17% lower post-primary immunization levels (GMR, PT 0.92, 95% CI:0.88-0.97, n = 373; FHA:0.88, 95% CI:0.85-0.92,n = 378; PRN:0.84, 95% CI:0.81-0.88, n = 367; TT:0.88, 95% CI:0.83-0.93, n = 241; DT: 0.83, 95% CI:0.79-0.87,n = 278). Two-fold higher levels of anti-FHA IgG pre-primary immunization were associated with 8% lower post-booster immunization levels (GMR, 0.92; 95% CI: 0.86-0.99,n = 138). Increased IgG levels pre-primary immunization is associated with reduced post-primary and post-booster immunization levels for some antigens in infants of women immunized or unimmunized in pregnancy, but their clinical significance is uncertain.

BACKGROUND
Exploring factors that affect immune responses to immunizations in infants born to women immunized with tetanus-diphtheria-acellular-pertussis (Tdap) in pregnancy compared with unimmunized women is important in designing immunization programs.
METHODS
Individual-participant data meta-analysis of 8 studies reporting post-immunization immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels to vaccine antigens in infants born to either women immunized with Tdap in pregnancy or unimmunized women, using mixed-effects models.
RESULTS
In infants of Tdap-immunized women, two-fold higher levels of anti-pertussis toxin (PT) and anti-diphtheria-toxoid (DT) IgG pre-primary immunization were associated with 9% and 10% lower post-primary immunization levels, (geometric mean ratio [GMR], PT: 0.91; 95% CI, 0.88-0.95,n = 494, DT: 0.9; 0.87-0.93,n = 519). Timing of immunization in pregnancy did not affect post-primary immunization anti-Bordetella pertussis, anti-tetanus-toxoid (TT) and anti-DT IgG levels. Spacing of infant immunization did not affect post-primary immunization anti-B. pertussis and anti-DT levels. In infants of Tdap-immunized women, two-fold higher levels of anti-PT and anti-filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA) IgG pre-primary immunization were associated with lower post-booster immunization levels, (GMR, PT: 0.91; 0.85-0.97,n = 224, FHA: 0.92; 0.85-0.99,n = 232). Timing of immunization in pregnancy did not affect post-booster immunization anti-Bordetella pertussis, anti-tetanus-toxoid (TT) and anti-DT IgG levels. Spacing of infant immunization did not affect post-booster immunization anti-PT, anti-pertactin (PRN), anti-TT and anti-DT IgG levels. In infants of unimmunized women, two-fold higher IgG levels of some vaccine antigens pre-primary immunization were associated with 8-17% lower post-primary immunization levels (GMR, PT 0.92, 95% CI:0.88-0.97, n = 373; FHA:0.88, 95% CI:0.85-0.92,n = 378; PRN:0.84, 95% CI:0.81-0.88, n = 367; TT:0.88, 95% CI:0.83-0.93, n = 241; DT: 0.83, 95% CI:0.79-0.87,n = 278). Two-fold higher levels of anti-FHA IgG pre-primary immunization were associated with 8% lower post-booster immunization levels (GMR, 0.92; 95% CI: 0.86-0.99,n = 138).
DISCUSSION
Increased IgG levels pre-primary immunization is associated with reduced post-primary and post-booster immunization levels for some antigens in infants of women immunized or unimmunized in pregnancy, but their clinical significance is uncertain.
