A variety of prophylactic strategies are used to prevent the risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV) transmission from antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc)-positive donors. The mechanisms underlying the failure of HBV immunoglobulin monoprophylaxis have been poorly evaluated. Seventy-seven anti-H

## Abstract Immunological and genomic analysis of the βaβ determinant was carried out in seven patients with concurrent HBsAg and antiβHBs, four of whom were immunized against hepatitis B virus at liver transplant, two with histologically characterized chronic hepatitis B virus infection, and one H
Mutations in the "a" determinant of the surface gene have been associated with failure of hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIg) prophylaxis. We compared sequences from the surface and polymerase regions of hepatitis B virus (HBV) from 4 patients who failed high-dose HBIg therapy with two control groups:
