Humoral and cellular immunogenicity were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for the varicella-zoster virus\u2013specific IgG antibody and varicella-zoster virus\u2013specific enzyme-linked immunospot assays, before and 6 weeks after vaccination. We enrolled 69 participants (mean age, 74.3 years); 31 were non-robust. Thirty-seven participants had a greater than 2 geometric mean fold rise in IgG antibodies, 22 more participants had at least 10 spot-forming cells\/106 peripheral blood mononuclear cells (from 35 to 57 participants), and 42 experienced a twofold geometric mean fold rise increase of spot-forming cells 6 weeks after vaccination. The geometric mean fold rises of the antibody titers were similar in the robust and non-robust groups; moreover, the baseline enzyme-linked immunospot assay geometric mean values were not significantly different before or 6 weeks after vaccination. We observed no significant correlations between baseline cytokine levels and immunogenicity. Approximately half of the community-dwelling elderly participants in this study experienced a twofold rise in antibodies and one-third more participants showed at least 10 spot-forming cells after ZVL administration, suggesting that the ZVL can boost immunity in non-robust (especially pre-frail) and robust elderly individuals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/gerona\/gly287","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,21]],"date-time":"2018-12-21T01:18:05Z","timestamp":1545355085000},"page":"1225-1230","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Immunogenicity
