Abstract:
The kinetics of antibody response to the group determinant a and subdeterminants d and y of hepatitis B virus were studied after infection and following immunisation with two recombinant DNA yeast-derived hepatitis B vaccines. The initial antibody response was to the subdeterminant epitopes, whereas anti-a antibody, which provides protection against different subtypes of the virus, was not detected for some weeks or months. The delay in the development of anti-a antibody after active immunisation raises important issues of early protection against infection.
