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

Hepatitis B vaccines

Journal of Hepatology, 2003
Yeast-derived hepatitis B vaccines, containing the small HBV envelope protein SHBAg, are immunogenic, safe and cost-effective in prevention of hepatitis B virus infection in neonates, children and adults. Newly developed pre-S/S hepatitis B vaccines may play a role in inducing fast and augmented seroconversion rates in special risk groups.
