BACKGROUND: Testing for common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) requires evaluation of specific antibody responses to vaccines. Current practice of evaluating pneumococcal serotype-specific immunoglobulin (Ig)G levels after Pneumovax (P23) has several limitations and is not accurate for patients already on immunoglobulin replacement. In contrast, the enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay can be interpreted in patients on immunoglobulin replacement as ex vivo measurement of specific antibody-secreting cells (ASCs).
OBJECTIVE: To optimize and test an ELISPOT assay to evaluate vaccination response to P23 and compare with P23 serotype-specific IgG for patients on intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG).
METHODS: We prospectively enrolled a total of 15 adults: normal controls (n = 8), patients with CVID on IVIG replacement (n = 2), patients on IVIG replacement for recurrent infections who did not meet diagnostic criteria for CVID, considered IgG deficiency (n = 2), and patients without immunodeficiency on high-dose IVIG for other diagnosis (n = 3). We measured P23 serotype-specific IgG before and 4 weeks after P23 and ELISPOT ASCs before and 1 week after P23 (with B-cell subpopulation analysis by flow cytometry in patients on IVIG).
RESULTS: Normal controls had a vaccination response by P23 serotype-specific IgG, whereas patients on IVIG did not. Except for true patients with CVID on IVIG, a P23 ELISPOT ASC response was found in normal controls (highest) and most patients on IVIG for recurrent infections or other diagnosis.
CONCLUSION: Our pilot study suggests that an optimized ELISPOT protocol has utility to evaluate the P23-specific antibody response after vaccination. Our ELISPOT assay seemed reliable for patients on IVIG and may help differentiate true patients with CVID from those with a less stringent diagnosis while on IVIG.
