Maternal transfer of anti HPV 6 and 11 antibodies upon immunization with the 9-valent HPV vaccine.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This exploratory analysis was conducted to characterize the level of HPV types 6/11 antibodies in peripartum maternal blood and in cord blood of infants born to women who received 9-valent HPV (9vHPV) vaccine or quadrivalent HPV (qHPV) vaccine in a pivotal efficacy study (V503-001, NCT 00543543).

Methods

A total of 21 mother-infant pairs had evaluable HPV 6/11 results available for analysis. HPV6/11 antibodies were assessed using competitive Luminex immunoassay. The distribution of the ratios of infant to mother anti-HPV antibodies (i.e., infant-anti-HPV/mother- anti-HPV) was summarized.

Results

All mothers and infants were seropositive to HPV 6 and HPV 11. Anti-HPV 6/11 geometric mean titers (GMTs) in peripartum maternal blood and in cord blood of infant b
