Correlations between three ELISA protocols measurements of RTS,S/AS01-induced anti-CSP IgG antibodies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

RTS,S/AS01 induced anti-circumsporozoite protein (CSP) IgG antibodies are associated with the vaccine efficacy. There is currently no international standardisation of the assays used in the measurement of anti-CSP IgG antibody concentrations for use in evaluations of the vaccine's immunogenicity and/or efficacy. Here, we compared the levels of RTS,S/AS01 induced anti-CSP IgG antibodies measured using three different enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assays (ELISA).

Methods

196 plasma samples were randomly selected from the 447 samples collected during the RTS,S/AS01 phase IIb trial in 2007 from Kenyan children aged between 5-17 months. The vaccine-induced anti-CSP IgG antibodies were then measured using two independently developed ELISA protocols ('Kilifi-RTS,S' and 'Ox
