TL;DR
The response of newborn infants to the feeding of Type 1 attenuated poliovirus vaccine (Sabin LSc-2 ab) is described and observations were made upon infants fed the same vaccine at three months of age.
Abstract
IT is the purpose of this report to describe the response of newborn infants to the feeding of Type 1 attenuated poliovirus vaccine (Sabin LSc-2 ab). For comparison, observations were also made upon infants fed the same vaccine at three months of age.This study was undertaken because there appear to be certain practical advantages in beginning immunization during the first few days of life. Active immunity might be achieved while the infant was still protected by antibody passively acquired from the mother, and thus there would be no interval when the child would be susceptible to paralytic disease.

An adaptation of the method of Dulbecco for preparation of trypsin-dispersed monkey kidney cell suspensions has been described and procedures employed yield quantitatively standardized cell suspensions which can be used in the preparation of large numbers of replicate cultures.

Infants less than 2 months old were more difficult to immunize than older infants, and the evidence suggests that biologic immaturity rather than transplacental antibodies caused the difference.

The suggestion, however, that such phantom limbs disappear because the post-central region is no longer functioning is rendered invalid by the evidence of the " third phantom.'"

It was found safe to administer the virus to infants less than a month old and the presence of homotypic antibodies congenitally acquired from the mother did not prevent an active response in infants who received an adequate amount of virus.

It is suggested that the amount of interference with active immunization is dependent on the relation of the titer of passive transfer and the potency of the antigen.

It was first shown in 1956 that infants can be actively immunized with living attenuated poliovirus vaccine given orally, even while they still have passively acquired maternal poliomyelitis antibodies; these observations were subsequently confirmed.

The apparent diminution in both presence and concentration of poliovirus in the pharynx in infections acquired after immunization may be important in the epidemiology of this infection in an immunized population where high standards of environmental sanitation are observed and good personal hygiene is practiced.

The results of the experiments published in this paper clearly demonstrate that the view that an immunization during the first months of life is not practicable the infants at this age being considered to have a poor antitoxin producing power is erroneous.

It was concluded that during the first year of life the capacity to produce antibodies in response to an antigenic stimulus increases with advancing age, and in some instances the immunologic handicap due to tissue immaturity can be overcome if a sufficiently great antigenic stimuli is given.
