Hepatitis B vaccine (HBVacc) protects against hepatitis B, a major infectious disease that can cause cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer. The vaccines developed to date are generally effective and safe. However, HBvacc has been implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune phenomena. Crossreactivity ...
Hepatitis Bvaccineis an inactivated viral vaccine administered intramuscularly to provide protection against infection from all subtypes ofhepatitisBvirus. HepatitisB virus is transmitted in body fluids and causes severeliverinfection, which may become chronic in some people. Hepatitis B vaccine stimulates ...
Prevention and control measures of HDV are similar to those for HBV: immunisation with hepatitis B vaccine protects against HDV infection. HIV and HBV HIV and HBV co-infection is problematic in resource-poor settings. HBV has little effect on the natural history of HIV infection. However, HIV,...
Beginning in 1991, the CDC recommended that hepatitis B vaccination became standard of care for infants, making it the first shot most babies receive before leaving the hospital. That said, many adults born before the 1991 hepatitis B vaccine recommendation are living unprotected against the hepatiti...
Efficacy of the HBV vaccine is measured by its ability to induce hepatitis B surface antibody (Hbs Ab) at a titre of >10 IU/L [23]. - In healthy infants, 30%–40% protection against HBV infection is achieved with one dose of the vaccine, 50%–75% protection with two doses and >...

Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs).Antibodies are proteins your immune system makes to fight HBV. If you have anti-HBs in your blood, it shows that you have fought off HBV and now can't get it. Or this can show that you have gotten the hepatitis B vaccine. ...
An effective HIV-1 vaccine remains a critical unmet need for ending the AIDS epidemic. Vaccine trials conducted to date have suggested the need to increase the durability and functionality of vaccine-elicited antibodies to improve efficacy. We hypothesiz

In the particular case of hepatitis B, the oral formulation in the nanostructured silica SBA-15 is a viable approach. As a result of its porous structure, low toxicity and structural stability, SBA-15 is capable to protect and release the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), used in the ...
