Overcoming class II-linked non-responsiveness to hepatitis B vaccine [PDF]

, 1994
This work shows that class II-linked humoral lack of response to an antigen can be overcome by joint immunization with the antigen and a T-helper cell determinant (TDh) well recognized by class II molecules of a non-responder individual. Thus, SJL/J mice
