SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Time between prevaccination visit and postvaccination visit; typically about 30 days.

Population: Protocol only required that a subset of all specimens be run in order to get statistically significant outcomes; because the MN assay is labor intensive a subset of sera was processed in that assay for the Flumist-live attenuated influenza vaccine group to maintain comparable tested sample sizes among the three arms.

Measure immune response induced by the vaccines. Response was defined as greater than or equal to 4 fold rise in antibody titers measured by hemagglutination inhibition (HAI), microneutralization (MN), or neuraminidase inhibition (NAI) assays between sera collected at the prevaccination visit and those collected at the postvaccination visit.

Identify serologic correlates of immune protection. Seroconversion is defined as either prevaccination titer of less than 8 and postvaccination titer of greater than or equal to 32 or prevaccination titer of greater than or equal to 8 and greater than or equal to 4 fold rise in strain specific hemagglutination-inhibition (HAI) antibody titer between prevaccination and postvaccination sera. Data is shown separately for cases (subjects with symptomatic influenza A laboratory confirmed by isolation in cell culture or identification in real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay) and non-cases (subjects without cell culture, real time PCR or serologic evidence of influenza infection).
