Titers of antibodies to the surface antigen of hepatitis B virus after vaccination in relation to immunity-related gene variants. A prospective study among hemodialysis patients.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION    Hemodialysis (HD) patients show a weaker response to hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination than the healthy population. Several gene variants were reported to be associated with the levels of antibodies to HBV surface antigen (anti-HBs) after HBV vaccination among healthy individuals. OBJECTIVES    The aim of the study was to determine the effect of immunity-related genes on the maximum anti-HBs...
