Cell-mediated immune responses to smallpox vaccination

Clin Vaccine Immunol. 2006 Oct;13(10):1172-4. doi: 10.1128/CVI.00181-06.

Abstract

We report that vaccine dilution (1:1 or 1:10) and previous vaccinia virus vaccination status had no significant effect on cell-mediated immune responses (i.e., the immediate vaccinia virus-specific gamma interferon-producing T-cell response measured by enzyme-linked immunospot assay) 1 month after smallpox vaccination (Lancy-Vaxina; Berna Biotech, Switzerland).
