ABSTRACT
Myeloablative T cell depleted (CD34-selected) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is associated with less acute and chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD). We aimed to examine vaccine responses in relation to immune reconstitution and post HCT rituximab administration in this population. This single center retrospective study included 251 patients with hematological malignancies who received a first CD34-selected HCT between 2012 and 2015. Of 251 patients, 190 were alive 1 year after HCT. Among the entire population, 77 (30.7%) patients were vaccinated. After vaccine administration, 35/44 (80%), 30/75 (40%), 27/36 (75%), 33/65 (51%), 34/51 (51%), 22/28 (79%) and 20/34 (59%) of evaluable patients had protective antibody titers for haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib), Pneumococcus, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis, hepatitis A (HAV), and hepatitis B (HBV) respectively. Responders to the pneumococcal vaccine had a higher CD45RA T cell count than non responders, with 12/18 patients (66.7%) vs 11/32 (34.4%) p = 0.04. For pneumococcal vaccine, there was also a trend to higher total lymphocyte B cell count in responders vs non responders p = 0.06. Rituximab post HCT was given to 59/251 (23.5%) patients. No difference was found in immune reconstitution patterns for rituximab use between vaccine responders and not. Recipients of CD34-selected HCT may respond to vaccination, and T and B cell subsets could be useful to predict vaccine response.
