ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Supplementation of oligosaccharides in premature infants was shown to influence the immune system. We determined the effect of combined short-chain galacto-oligosaccharides (scGOS), long-chain fructo-oligosaccharides (lcFOS) and pectin-derived acidic oligosaccharides (pAOS) on antibody concentrations after pneumococcal conjugate vaccination in very preterm infants.METHODS:
Very preterm infants with gestational age <32 weeks and/or birth weight <1500 g were randomized to receive enteral supplementation with scGOS/lcFOS/pAOS or placebo between days 3 and 30 of life. Blood samples were collected at birth, 5 and 12 months of age and compared with term samples from a Dutch cross-sectional population-based serosurveillance study. IgG antibody levels to pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides were determined by multiplex immunoassay.RESULTS:
In total, 113 preterm infants were included with similar baseline and nutritional characteristics in both groups. After 3 primary pneumococcal vaccinations, the scGOS/lcFOS/pAOS-group had lower GMC antibody concentrations (µg/mL; serotype 4 1.53, 6B0.25, 9V 1.19, 14 2.39, 18C 1.88, 19F 7.42, 23F 0.72) than the placebo group (serotype 4 3.29, 6B 0.79, 9V2.64, 14 4.52, 18C 3.13, 19F 14.64, 23F 1.88; all P < 0.05), but comparable with those in the term control group (serotype 4 0.97, 6B 0.32, 9V 1.67, 14 3.24, 18C 2.03, 19F 5.06, 23F 0.59; all P > 0.05). After the booster vaccination at 11 months, antibody levels were no longer different between the two preterm groups.CONCLUSION:
Enteral supplementation of scGOS/lcFOS/pAOS has a regulatory effect on the response to conjugated polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine with normalization of the enhanced responses in preterm infants toward levels similar to healthy term infants.
