Hepatitis B vaccination

Journal of Virological Methods, 1985
As hepatitis B virus does not replicate in tissue culture systems, it was impossible to prepare a vaccine in the conventional way. However, the surface-antigen of the virus is present in abundance in the blood of certain virus carriers. This phenomenon has been used to develop plasma-derived hepatitis B vaccines and these vaccines are now available. In
