A hepatitis B vaccine produced in yeast by recombinant DNA technology was evaluated using 5-micrograms and 10-micrograms doses in a randomized trial lasting 7 months in 110 male armed forces recruits aged 17-19 years. Results were compared to those of an identical trial of a plasma-derived vaccine.
Horizontal transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) from illicit drug users to their contacts, including young children, can be prevented by active immunization against HBV. Yeast-recombinant hepatitis B vaccines are now available for this purpose, but their potential efficacy in such high-risk conta
The immunogenicity of a 5-micrograms dose of vaccine (H-B-Vax, MSD) was evaluated in 50 young adults (17-19 years). Results were compared to our previous studies using similarly prepared vaccines using 20 micrograms and 10 micrograms per dose with the same trial protocol in a comparable population.
Nitric oxide is a free radical gas molecule which may be implicated in antiviral defense. However, there is no information about its possible role in chronic viral hepatitis B and C. In this study we have analyzed the serum levels of NO 2 -(as an index of nitric oxide generation) from patients with
