Abstract

The study deals with the ability of live attenuated reassortant influenza vaccine (LAIV) A (H5N2) to stimulate a CD4+ and CD8+ immunological memory T cell-mediated immune response in volunteers. These data were compared with the quantitative characteristics of a humoral immune response. A two-dose regimen of intranasal vaccination of avian influenza naïve people with A (H5N2) LAIV induced the production of circulating CD4+ and CD8+ memory cells specific to both A (H5N2) and seasonal A (H1N1) influenza strains. Some of the volunteers were not absolutely A (H5N2) influenza virus naïve since they had been found to have this virus-specific cross-reactive immunological memory T-cells in the prevaccination period. The content (%) of these cells varied significantly within the group. The quantitative values of postvaccination CD4+ and CD8+ memory cell accumulation were inversely related to their prevaccination level.
