Abstract excerpt
A small but significant proportion of people who receive the hepatitis B vaccine do not produce anti-hepatitis B antibodies, a phenomenon associated with certain human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II haplotypes. We were interested in determining whether natural allelic differences between two HLA-DR4 molecules associated with responder versus nonresponder subtypes differed with respect to binding of an...
