Next-generation sequencing analysis of the human T-cell and B-cell receptor repertoire diversity before and after hepatitis B vaccination
4 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
The hepatitis B (HB) vaccine effectively prevents the incidence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. However, vaccine failure occurs in 5-10% of the recipients. The precise mechanisms leading to responsiveness to the HB vaccine are poorly understood. High-throughput sequencing (HTS) may help clarify the immune response to the HB vaccine, so we applied this method to investigate whether the HB vaccine induced a...
